Health Effects
|
|
|---|
| From Label: CAUTION. COMBUSTIBLE Keep away from heat and open flame. Contains petroleum distillates. Store in well ventilated area. Keep bag closed to avoid evaporation. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Burning charcoal inside can kill you. Gives off carbon monoxide which has no odor. Never burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles, or tents. |
| From MSDS:Vapors may cause irritation to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to concentrations above the Worker Exposure Limit may cause central nervous system depression (e.g. dizziness, weakness, nausea, headaches and/or unconsciousness). Dust may irritate eyes. Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal inside without adequate ventilation can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or tents. Preexisting eye, skin, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. |
| From MSDS:Solvents similar to those contained in this product have caused adverse kidney effects in male rats after prolonged and repeated inhalation exposure. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational exposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Repeated or prolonged overexposure to the dust may cause coughing, shortness of breath, and occupational lung disease. Wood dust is a possible sensitizer. Studies have linked wood dust to nasal cancer in furniture industry workers. Woodworkers in the building industry (e.g. carpenters) do not appear to have this increased risk. Due to the product form and typical use conditions, significant dust exposures are unlikely, and, therefore, the potential for any chronic effects is low. |
| IARC Monographs (Volume 62, 1995) state that there is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of wood dust in humans and inadequate evidence of its carcinogenicity in animals. IARC classification: Group 1. None of the other materials in this product are on the IARC, OSHA, or NTP carcinogen lists. |
| INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If irritation or breathing problems develop, call a physician. EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a physician.SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with soap and water.INGESTION: Drink a glassful of water. Call a physician. |

Handling/Disposal
|
|---|
| FroWash hands after direct contact. Do not wear product contaminated clothing for prolonged periods. Stable under normal use and storage conditions. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents, heat sources, and ignition sources. Store in a well-ventilated area away from heat and open flames. Keep bag closed to avoid evaporation. Do not use lighter fluid or an electric or chimney-style starter. Never cover flaming briquettes with a grill lid. Covering flaming briquettes may result in a flare-up when lid is removed. Do not add Match Light once fire has been lit. Barbecue away from flammable items, overhangs, and trees. |
| Reclaim, if possible; otherwise, dispose of in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. |
