V HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Effects of Exposure:
To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological properties of calcium titanate have not been thoroughly investigated and recorded.
Generally speaking, calcium compounds should be considered toxic only when they contain toxic components or as calcium oxide or hydroxide. Calcium compounds are common air contaminants.
Titanium Compounds: There are no reported cases in the literature where titanium as such has caused human intoxication. The dusts of titanium or most titanium compounds may be placed in the nuisance category. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition)
Acute Effects:
Inhalation: May cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract and mucous membranes.
Ingestion No acute health effects recorded.
Skin: May cause abrasive irritation.
Eye: May cause abrasive irritation.
Chronic Effects:
Inhalation: May affect breathing capacity.
Ingestion: No chronic health effects recorded.
Skin: No chronic health effects recorded.
Eye: No chronic health effects recorded.
Target Organs: May affect the respiratory system.
Carcinogenicity: NTP: No IARC: No OSHA: No
Routes of Entry: Inhalation
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing respiratory disorders.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. Keep warm and quiet. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek prompt medical attention.
INGESTION: Give 1-2 glasses of milk or water and induce vomiting, seek medical attention. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, brush material off skin, wash affected area with mild soap and water, seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
EYE: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, lifting upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material Is Released or Spilled: Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section VIII. Isolate spill area and provide ventilation. Vacuum up spill using a high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) air filter and place in a closed container for proper disposal. Take care not to raise dust.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH - approved dust respirator.
Ventilation: Use local exhaust to maintain concentration at low exposure levels. General exhaust is recommended.
Protective Gloves: Rubber gloves
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Protective gear suitable to prevent contamination.
IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry area. Provide adequate ventilation.
Work Practices: Implement engineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintain concentration of exposure. Use good housekeeping and sanitation practices. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air. Maintain eyewash capable of sustained flushing, safety drench shower and facilities for washing.
