Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Small Spill:
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by
spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority
requirements.
Large Spill:
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water
on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not
present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the
label when possible. Keep away from incompatibles such as acids.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection: Safety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential Health Effects:
Skin: Skin exposure to titanium dioxide is virtually harmless. It is reported to be a mild irritant and may cause
mechanical irritation (irritation from frictional action). It is believed not to be absorbed through intact skin.
Eyes: Dust may cause mechanical irritation (irritation from frictional action),
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal (digestive) tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is not
absorbed following ingestion. No hazard is expected in normal industrial use.
Inhalation: Nuisance dust. May be harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May affect respiration
and blood.
Chronic Potential Health Effects: Heavy occupational dust exposures may cause chronic rhinitis, chronic
bronchitis, impaired pulmonary function, resemblance of silicosis without any fibrosis, functional change in trachea
or bronchi, chronic pulmonary edema.
