Activated carbon (NOT REGULATED) Exempt from DOT, IATA, and IMDG regulations Import/Export classification: 3802.10.0000 (HS Tariff Classification) Domestic Freight Classification: NMFC 040560 CAS # 7440-44-0 Material Handling Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from air and, therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered. Whenever workers enter a vessel contai ning activated carbon, the vessel's oxygen content should be determined and work procedures for potentia lly low oxygen areas should be followed. Appropriate protective equipment should be worn. Avoid inhalation of excessive carbon dust. No problems are known to be associated in handling this material. This product may contain silica. Please see the product Material Safety Data Sheet for details. Long-term inhalation of high dust concentrations can lead to respiratory impairment. Use forced ventilation or a dust mask w hen necessary for protection against airborne dust exposure (see Code of Federal Regulations - Title 29, Subpart Z, par. 1910.1000, Table Z-3).
