Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: CAUTION! MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. ACUTE: INHALATION:
    INHALATION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF DUST MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION:  EXTREMELY LARGE ORAL DOSAGES MAY
    PRODUCE GASTROINTESTINAL DISTURBANCES. SKIN CONTACT: POSSIBLE
    IRRITATION ON PROLONGED CONTACT WITH MOIST OR SENSITIVE AREAS OF
    THE SKIN. EYE CONTACT: NO ADVERSE EFFEC TS EXPECTED BUT DUST MAY
    CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION. CHRONIC: NO INFORMATION FOUND. (EFTS

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DUST CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM, OR CARBON
    DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FINE DUST DISPERSED IN AIR IN SUFFICIENT
    CONCENTRATIONS, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS A
    POTENTIAL DUST EXPLOSION HAZARD. FIRE: AS WITH MOST ORGANIC SOLIDS,
    FIRE IS POSSIBLE AT ELEVATED  TEMPERATURES OR BY CONTACT WITH AN
    IGNITION SOURCE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA
    OF LEAK OR SPILL WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS
    SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8 SPILLS: CLEAN UP SPILLS IN A MANNER THAT
    DOES NOT DISPERSE DUST  INTO THE AIR. USE NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND
    EQUIPMENT. REDUCE AIRBORNE DUST AND PREVENT SCATTERING BY
    MOISTENING WITH WATER. PICK UP SPILL FOR RECOVERY OR DISPOSAL AND
    PLACE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER,
    STORED IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA. PROTECT AGAINST PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE. ISOLATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE SUBSTANCES. CONTAINERS OF THE
