  The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
  The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

  Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture.  CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org
  
  We have assigned ID numbers (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.

  EINECS is the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Substances and its EINECS numbers are displayed as 2xx-xxx-x.
  ELINCS is the European List of Notified Chemical Substances that was available after September 18, 1981 and its ELINCS numbers are displayed as 4xx-xxx-x.
  NLP is the No-Longer Polymers category and its NLP numbers are displayed as 5xx-xxx-x EC No.

   UN Global Harmonization Classification

  Hazard Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). There are 4 categories of Hazard Codes:

  • Physical Hazard Codes (H200 series)
  • Health Hazard Codes (H300 series)
  • Environmental Hazard Codes (H400 series)
  • Supplementary Hazard Codes (EUH series)

  Hazard Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  Hazard Statement Code

  Precautionary Codes and their associated descriptions are an essential part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
  Precautionary Codes may be found in the "Advanced" version of Chemical Composition / Ingredients tables.

  SVHC is a substance (identified by the European Chemicals Agency) that may have serious and often irreversible effects on human health and the environment. SVHC are defined in Article 57 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (“the REACH Regulation”) and include substances which are:
  1.  Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction (CMR), meeting the criteria for classification in category 1 or 2 in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or in category 1a or 1b in accordance with EC No 1272/2008This directive was recently replaced by the new EU regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
  2.  Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) or very Persistent and very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) according to the criteria in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation, or
  3.  Identified, on a case-by-case basis, from scientific evidence as causing probable serious effects to human health or the environment of an equivalent level of concern as those above (e.g. endocrine disrupters).

    • Acute health effects

      From MSDS
      EMERGENCY OVERVIEW RISK May cause fire. Cumulative effects may result following exposure. Exposure may produce irreversible effects*. May produce discomfort of the eyes and respiratory tract*. *(limited evidence) POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED The material has NOT been classified as ***harmful by ingestion***. This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion

    • Chronic health effects

      From MSDS
      Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray. Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to make an assessment.

    • Carcinogenicity

      From MSDS
      No information provided.

    • Handling information

      From MSDS
      PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
      NOTE: Wet, activated carbon removes oxygen from the air thus producing a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels and in enclosed or confined spaces where activated carbons might accumulate. Before entry to such areas, sampling and test procedures for low oxygen levels should be undertaken; control conditions should be established to ensure the availability of adequate oxygen supply.
      - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
       Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
      - Use in a well-ventilated area.
      - Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
      - DO NOT enter confined spaces until atmosphere has been checked.
      - DO NOT allow material to contact humans, exposed food or food utensils.
      - Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
      - When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
      - Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
      - Avoid physical damage to containers.
      - Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
      - Work clothes should be laundered separately.
      - Launder contaminated clothing before re-use.
      - Use good occupational work practice.
      - Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
      - Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.
      RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS
      - Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
      - Check all containers are clearly labeled and free from leaks.
      STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
      Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

    • Disposal information

      From MSDS
      Disposal Instructions
      All waste must be handled in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
      - Recycle wherever possible.
      - Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult Waste Management Authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
      - Dispose of by: Burial in a licensed land-fill or Incineration in a licensed apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material)
      - Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.

    • First Aid

      From MSDS
      SWALLOWED - Immediately give a glass of water. - First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Center or a doctor.
      EYE If this product comes in contact with the eyes: - Wash out immediately with fresh running water. - Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. - If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. - Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. SKIN If skin or hair contact occurs: - Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). - Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
      INHALED - If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. - Other measures are usually unnecessary.
      NOTES TO PHYSICIAN Treat symptomatically.
