INGREDIENTS AND HAZARDS Ingredient Name: CAS Numbers Fires it: Exposure Limits: Calcium Carbonate 471-34-1 ACGIH TLV: 10 mg/NF, Total IXist 09HA PEL: 5 nrg/(F, Respirable There are extremely small, but detectable amounts of substances requlated under California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65). Arsenic - less than 1 ppm Cadmium - less than 1 ppm Chromium (VI) - less than 0.1 ppm Lead - less than 1 ppm These levels are "typical" quantities and may change slightly with different lots. The term "less than" indicates that the substance was detected, but the amount was less than the quantifiable limit.

If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Skin contact: Wash from skin with mild soap and water. Inhalation: Remove from the exposure area. Inqesticn: Ingestion should not cause any significant health problems. If a large amount is ingested and if conscious, give large quantities of water to induce vomiting. Get medical attention. SECTION VII. SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES Spill / Leak procedures: Those involved in clean-up of spills should use respiratory protection for airborne dust. Vacuum or scoop up spilled material for recovery or disposal, avoiding dusting conditions and using good ventilation. Wetting the spill with a water spray may help to keep the airborne dust levels down. Waste manaqemmt / Disposal: Calcium Carbonate is not considered to be a RCRA hazardous waste and may be disoosed in a site suitable for industrial wastes. Refer to any local. State or Federal regulations for specific disposal information. In case of emergency, call OEMTREC, 24 hour information service, 1-000-424-9300. SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION IM^ORTOTION Personal protective equipmoit i Gaggles: Safety glasses or dust-tight goggles. Gloves: Leather or rubber gloves. Respirator: If exposure limits are exceeded, a NI0SH approved dust respirator should be used. Workplace considerations: Vartilation: Provide adequate exhaust ventilation to meet TLV requirements. exhaust filter system may be required to avoid environmental contamination.

SECTION IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Other precautions: Good industrial hygiene practice requires that employee exposure be maintained below the recommended TLV. This is preferably achieved through the provision of adequate ventilation where necessary. Where dust cannot be controlled in this way, personal respiratory protection should be employed.
