4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that most organic dusts are combustible
(circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires
and / or dust explosions.
Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in
air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including
secondary explosions).
Fire/Explosion Hazard Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture
with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding
of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust (420 micron or less) may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited -
particles exceeding this limit will generally not form flammable dust clouds; once initiated, however, larger particles up to 1400
microns diameter will contribute to the propagation of an explosion.
In the same way as gases and vapours, dusts in the form of a cloud are only ignitable over a range of concentrations; in
principle, the concepts of lower explosive limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) are applicable to dust clouds but only
the LEL is of practical use; - this is because of the inherent difficulty of achieving homogeneous dust clouds at high
temperatures (for dusts the LEL is often called the "Minimum Explosible Concentration", MEC).
When processed with flammable liquids/vapors/mists,ignitable (hybrid) mixtures may be formed with combustible dusts.
Ignitable mixtures will increase the rate of explosion pressure rise and the Minimum Ignition Energy (the minimum amount of
energy required to ignite dust clouds - MIE) will be lower than the pure dust in air mixture. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of
the vapour/dust mixture will be lower than the individual LELs for the vapors/mists or dusts.
A dust explosion may release of large quantities of gaseous products; this in turn creates a subsequent pressure rise of
explosive force capable of damaging plant and buildings and injuring people.
Usually the initial or primary explosion takes place in a confined space such as plant or machinery, and can be of sufficient
force to damage or rupture the plant. If the shock wave from the primary explosion enters the surrounding area, it will disturb
any settled dust layers, forming a second dust cloud, and often initiate a much larger secondary explosion. All large scale
explosions have resulted from chain reactions of this type.
Dry dust can be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic transport, pouring, in exhaust ducts and during transport.
Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as
explosion venting.
All movable parts coming in contact with this material should have a speed of less than 1-meter/sec.
A sudden release of statically charged materials from storage or process equipment, particularly at elevated temperatures
and/ or pressure, may result in ignition especially in the absence of an apparent ignition source.
One important effect of the particulate nature of powders is that the surface area and surface structure (and often moisture
content) can vary widely from sample to sample, depending of how the powder was manufactured and handled; this means
that it is virtually impossible to use flammability data published in the literature for dusts (in contrast to that published for
gases and vapours).
Autoignition temperatures are often quoted for dust clouds (minimum ignition temperature (MIT)) and dust layers (layer
ignition temperature (LIT)); LIT generally falls as the thickness of the layer increases.
Combustion products include:
,
carbon monoxide (CO)
,
carbon dioxide (CO2)
,
nitrogen oxides (NOx)
,
other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.
May emit poisonous fumes.
May emit corrosive fumes.
Vacuum up (consider explosion-proof machines designed to be grounded during storage and use).
Place spilled material in clean, dry, sealable, labelled container.
Moderate hazard.
CAUTION: Advise personnel in area.
Alert Emergency Services and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Control personal contact by wearing protective clothing.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
Major Spills
Recover product wherever possible.
IF DRY: Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. Collect residues and place in sealed plastic bags or other
containers for disposal. IF WET: Vacuum/shovel up and place in labelled containers for disposal.
ALWAYS: Wash area down with large amounts of water and prevent runoff into drains.
If contamination of drains or waterways occurs, advise Emergency Services.
Solids handling systems must be designed in accordance with applicable standards (e.g. NFPA including 654 and 77) and
other national guidance.
Do not empty directly into flammable solvents or in the presence of flammable vapors.
The operator, the packaging container and all equipment must be grounded with electrical bonding and grounding systems.
Plastic bags and plastics cannot be grounded, and antistatic bags do not completely protect against development of static
charges.
Empty containers may contain residual dust which has the potential to accumulate following settling. Such dusts may explode in
the presence of an appropriate ignition source.
Do NOT cut, drill, grind or weld such containers.
In addition ensure such activity is not performed near full, partially empty or empty containers without appropriate workplace
safety authorisation or permit.

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity
generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the
extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 4-10 m/s (800-2000 ft/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2
metres distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction
apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are
installed or used.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material
can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed when making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands
should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:
· frequency and duration of contact,
· chemical resistance of glove material,
· glove thickness and
· dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent).
Hands/feet protection · When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
· When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes
according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
· Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when considering gloves for
long-term use.
· Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as:
· Excellent when breakthrough time > 480 min
· Good when breakthrough time > 20 min
· Fair when breakthrough time < 20 min
· Poor when glove material degrades
For general applications, gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm, are recommended.
It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical, as the
permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore, glove selection
should also be based on consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times.
Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer, the glove type and the glove model. Therefore, the
manufacturers technical data should always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task.
Note: Depending on the activity being conducted, gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks. For example:
· Thinner gloves (down to 0.1 mm or less) may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed. However, these
gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use applications, then disposed of.
· Thicker gloves (up to 3 mm or more) may be required where there is a mechanical (as well as a chemical) risk i.e. where there
is abrasion or puncture potential
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a
non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids,
where abrasive particles are not present.
polychloroprene.
nitrile rubber.

· Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
· The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data,
and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to
personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
· Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be
government mandated or vendor recommended.
· Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory
protection program.
· Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU)
· Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
· Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

During the industrial production of creatine, different contaminants are generated and they must be made known. As production
involves substances that originated from cow tissue, the risk of development of mad-cow disease cannot be ruled out.
Healthy persons taking creatine as a supplement have experienced stomach upset and muscle cramps, but it is generally
considered safe.
CREATINE
Creatine can potentially cause lower leg pain, associated with an increase in the anterior pressures of the lower leg. This usually
occurs after it is taken at rest or after exercise.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a
non-allergic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of
highly irritating compound. Main criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic
individual, with sudden onset of persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
Creatine Monohydrate 200 irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe
Mesh & CREATINE bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without
eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of
and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a result of
exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases.
The disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
