Inhalation: Zinc carbonate can irritate the respiratory tract, the effect
being that of a mild alkali. Some soreness and coughing are symptoms.
Ingestion: Not considered a significantly toxic substance, but contact
with gastric juice can produce zinc chloride. Pain and strictures or cramps may
occur in this case, and medical attention should be obtained.
Skin Contact: Mild irritant and astringent, can cause pain and redness on
long contact.
Eye Contact: Mild, alkaline irritant, may cause some mechanical injury.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice
if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally.
Call a physician if irritation persists.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard. Sealed
containers may burst under fire conditions due to release of carbon dioxide.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: Zinc oxide:-OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
fume: 5 mg/m3 (TWA) respirable fraction: 5 mg/m3 (TWA)total dusts: 15 mg/m3 (TWA)-ACGIH
Threshold Limit Value (TLV):2 mg/m3 (TWA), 10 mg/m3 (STEL), Respirable fraction
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face
piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50
times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If
oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.

and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Fumes of zinc oxide can form at high
temperatures.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: May react explosively with chlorinated rubber or
magnesium at elevated temperatures.
Conditions to Avoid: Incompatibles.
No LD50/LC50 information found relating to normal routes of occupational exposure. Investigated as a reproductive effector.
