Carbon black should be stored in a clean, dry, uncontaminated area away from expo­sure to high temperatures, open flame sources and strong oxidizers. Since carbon black will adsorb moisture and chemical vapors, it should be stored in closed con­tainers.

4.8.4

Confined Space Entry

Entry into bins, silos, rail tank cars, tank trucks, or other confined spaces used to ship or store carbon black should only be done following correct confined space entry procedures. Confined space entry procedures should include testing for carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen.

1.8.1 First Aid

There is no evidence to suggest that acute exposure to carbon black may result in life threatening injury or illness. Carbon black is not a respiratory irritant and does not produce respiratory or dermal sensitization.

Inhalation: Short-term exposures above 3.5 mg m-3 (total) may produce temporary discomfort to the upper respiratory tract that may result in coughing and wheezing. Removal from carbon black exposure normally is sufficient to cause symptoms to subside with no lasting effects.

Skin: Carbon black dust or powder may cause drying of the skin with repeated and prolonged contact. Skin drying may also result from frequent washing of carbon black contaminated skin.

Ingestion: No adverse effects are expected from carbon black ingestion.
