Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM METAL OR OXIDE
    DUST SHOULD BE A LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION AND SHOULD BE
    TREATED AS A NUISANCE DUST. EXPOSURE TO MAGNESIUM OXIDE FUME
    SUBSEQUENT TO BURNING CAN RESULT IN METAL  FUME FEVER. EYES: MAY
    CAUSE BURNS AND CORNEAL ABRASIONS. SKIN: PARTICLES OF MAGNESIUM
    EMBEDDED IN THE SKIN MAY PRODUCE LESIONS THAT RESIST HEALING.
    INGESTION: NO PROBLEM BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIE S.
Effects of Overexposure:THE TEMPORARY SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE FEVER,
    CHILLS, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND MUSCULAR PAIN. ONSET OF SYMPTOMS
    ABRASIONS. SKIN: PARTICLES O F MAGNESIUM EMBEDDED IN THE SKIN MAY
    PRODUCE LESIONS THAT RESIST HEALING. INGESTION: NO PROBLEM BECAUSE
    OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE CONTACT: DO NOT FLUSH WITH WATER. REMOVE PARTICALS WITH
    COTTON TIP APPLICATOR. CORNEAL ABRASIONS ARE A POSSIBILITY. GET
    IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENATION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
    ILL EFFECT S DEVELOP, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH THOROUGHLY
    WITH WATER, NO EFFECT EXPECTED. INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, IF
    CONSCIOUS, INDUCE VOMITING AND CALL PHYSICIAN. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING
    BY MOUTH TO AN U NCONSCIOUS PERSON.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:SMOTHER WITH DRY GRAPHITE, TALC, DRY SAND, G-1
    POWDER, PURPLE K- DO NOT USE WATER. DO NOT USE FOAM, HALOGENATED
    EXTINGUISHING AGENTS, OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT USE FOAM, CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, OR
    CARBON DIOXIDE. PROTECT EYES & SKIN AGAINST FLYING PARTICLES. AVOID
    DIRECT VIEWING OF MAGNESIUM FIRES AS EYE INJURY MAY RESULT.
    FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD WEAR A NIO SH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS & PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. WEAR FIRE GLASSES WHEN VIEWING
    MAGNESIUM FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMBUSTIBLE METAL. EASILY IGNITED & BURNS
    WITH INTENSE HEAT & BRILLIANT WHITE FLAME. POWDERS FORM EXPLOSIVE
    MIXTURES WITH AIR WHICH MAY BE IGNITED BY A SPARK. IN FINELY
    DIVIDED FORM, WILL REACT WITH W ATER & ACIDS TO RELEASE HYDROGEN;
    ALSO HAZARDOUS WITH CHLORINE, BROMIDE, IODINE, OXIDIZING AGENTS &
    ACIDS.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:RECOVER FOR USE IF NOT CONTAMINATE. DO NOT USE
    WATER TO CLEAN UP SPILL. USE APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT-CLEAN UP
    USING NON-SPARKING TOOLS-NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES IN THE AREA.
    AVOID DUSTING. CLEAN D RY PRODUCT MAY BE RETURNED TO DRY CONTAINER
    AND SEALED AGAINST MOISTURE OR PLACE IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR
    DISPOSAL. WET OR CONTAMINATED MATERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN VENTED

*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IN A DRY
    PLACE AWAY FROM OTHER COMBUSTIBLES IN A METAL CABINET. AVOID DIRECT
    VIEWING OF MAGNESIUM FIRES AS EYE INJURY MAY RESULT. GROUND ALL
    HANDLING AND TRANSFERRING OPERATI ONS. KEEP CONTAINER TIGHTLY
    CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:READ LABEL OF CONTAINER BEFORE USING . DO NOT WEAR
    CONTACT LESNES WHN WORKING WITH CHEMICALS. WET, MOIST OR HIGH
