*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE INADEQUATE TO
    CONTROL DUST CONCENTRATIONS TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL, A
    NIOSH-APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN IF NEEDED. IF
    RESPIRATORS ARE USED, A PROGRAM SHOULD BE IN STITUTED TO COMPLY
    WITH OSHA.

    ASTHMA AND INFLAMMATORY OR FIBROTIC PULMONARY DISEASE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:GET MEDICAL CARE IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST. EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
    SOAP & WATER. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SWALLOWED:IF LARGE
    QUANTITIES IN GESTED, DRINK 2 GLASSES OF WATER. CONTACT PHYSICIAN
    FOR PERMISSION TO INDUCE VOMITING. NOTE TO PHYSICAN:DESICCANT
    GENERATES HEAT AS IT ABSORBS WATER. USED PRODUCT CAN CONTAIN
    HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DEPENDS ON THE USE OF MATERIAL. USED MATERIAL
    MAY CONTAIN PRODUCTS OF A HAZARDOUS NATURE. IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS OF
    THE RETAINED MATERIAL & INFORM FIRE FIGHTERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN THEIR FRESH UNUSED STATE, MOLECULAR
    SIEVES ARE NOT FLAMMABLE. WHEN EXPOSED TO WATER, THEY CAN HEAT TO
    THE BOILING POINT OF WATER.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:SWEEP THE SPILL AREA. COLLECT AND PLACE THE
    SPILLED MATERIAL IN A WASTE DISPOSAL CONTAINER. AVOID RAISING DUST.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN DRY PLACE, IN TIGHTLY CLOSED
    CONTAINER, AWAY FROM MOISTURE AND INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
    PROPERLY FITTED NIOSH-APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR FOR DUSTY
    CONDITIONS. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
    HANDLING. AVOID CONTACT WIT H EYES. OPEN CONTAINER SLOWLY.
