Safety Instructions
Industrial chemicals are often present in powder form and therefore often contain much higher dangers than natural, crystalline substances. These hazard statements refer to the classification of industrially used chemical compounds that may also occur in this natural mineral. The hazard classification makes no claim to completeness. Safety classes: H301: Giftig bei Verschlucken., H332: Gesundheitsschädlich bei Einatmen., P261: Einatmen von Staub / Rauch / Gas / Nebel / Dampf / Aerosol vermeiden., P301+P310: Bei Verschlucken: Sofort Giftinformationszentrum, Arzt oder … anrufen., P304+P340: Bei Einatmen: Die Person an die frische Luft bringen und für ungehinderte Atmung sorgen., P312: Bei Unwohlsein Giftinformationszentrum, Arzt oder … anrufen., P405: Unter Verschluss aufbewahren., P501: Inhalt / Behälter … zuführen. |
