Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, seek medical advice if symptoms arise
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with water and mild soap
Eye Contact: Rinse gently under running water for several minutes, consult an ophthalmologist if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and drink extra fluids, seek attention if feeling unwell
Acute Effects: Dust may cause minor irritation to respiratory tract or eyes
Chronic Effects: Chronic exposure not expected to cause harm under normal handling
Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: Dust-air mixtures could ignite, producing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire if safe, cool exposed containers with water spray
Flash Point: Not applicable
Explosion Limits: Dust may form explosive mixtures; monitor and manage dust accumulation
Personal Precautions: Avoid creating dust, ventilate area thoroughly, use appropriate personal protective equipment
Environmental Precautions: Clean spills to prevent sugar runoff into drains, which can encourage bacterial growth
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep or vacuum up material, collect in a container for proper disposal, wash spill area with water
Emergency Procedures: No specialized emergency procedures required; standard cleaning is adequate
Safe Handling: Keep containers closed, minimize dust, use in well-ventilated area
Technical Measures: Implement local exhaust or general ventilation
Fire Prevention: Prevent dust build-up and sources of ignition
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight
Compatible Materials: Package in robust dry, airtight containers to prevent caking and contamination
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers should be avoided; contact can cause degradation
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limits for glucose monohydrate; rely on general dust limits (10 mg/m³ total inhalable, 5 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Use mechanical ventilation, station exhaust hoods above process areas
