6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid creating dust. Avoid breathing
dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.
For emergency responders Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
6.2. Environmental Precautions
Environmental Precautions Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Do not flush into
surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent product from entering drains. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for Containment Stop leak if you can do it without risk. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use
a dust suppressing agent which does not react with product. Dike far ahead of spill; use dry
sand to contain the flow of material. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible
material and transfer to containers for later disposal.
Methods for Cleaning Up Following product recovery, flush area with water.
7. Handling and Storage

Carcinogenicity Attapulgite (palygorskite fibers) is a hydrated magnesium aluminum silicate. Long
palygorskite (attapulgite) fibers (>5 micrometers) are possibly carcinogenic to humans
(Group 2B). Short palygorskite (attapulgite) fibers (<5 micrometers) cannot be classified as
to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). The attapulgite present in this product
contains fibers 0.5-2.5 um range, so would be considered by IARC as Group 3.
