HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
•
Chronic exposure may cause chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Respirator:
At
any concentrations above the NIOSH REL, or where there is no REL, at any
detectable concentration:
SCBAF:PD,PP
(any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is
operated in a pressure-demand or other positivepressure mode) SAF:PD,PP:ASCBA
(any suppliedair respirator that has a full facepiece and is operated in a
pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an
auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode).
Escape:
GMFOV
[any airpurifying, full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style,
front- or back-mounted organic vapor canister] SCBAE (any appropriate
escape-type, selfcontained breathing apparatus).
Reactivity:
Dust
may ignite spontaneously in air. Reaction with oxidizers and materials that
react with finely divided metals may be violent.

FIRST AID:
TITANIUM
POWDER, DRY (135)
: Move
victim to fresh air. Call emergency medical care. Apply artificial respiration
if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove
and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance,
immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. Keep
victim warm and quiet. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the
material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
