8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of
workday.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after
use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection
Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and
to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration
and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type
N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.

sneezing, Nausea, Weakness, Symptoms of systemic copper poisoning may include: capillary damage, headache, cold
sweat, weak pulse, and kidney and liver damage, central nervous system excitation followed by depression, jaundice,
convulsions, paralysis, and coma. Death may occur from shock or renal failure. Chronic copper poisoning is typified by
hepatic cirrhosis, brain damage and demyelination, kidney defects, and copper deposition in the cornea as exemplified
by humans with Wilson's disease. It has also been reported that copper poisoning has lead to hemolytic anemia and
accelerates arteriosclerosis.
