Dusts fall into one of three Kst* classes. Class 1 dusts; Kst 1-200 m3/sec; Class 2 dusts; 201-299 m3/sec. Class 3 dusts; Kst 300
or more. Most agricultural dusts (grains, flour etc.) are Class 1; pharmaceuticals and other speciality chemicals are typically
Class 1 or 2; most unoxidised metallic dusts are Class 3. The higher the Kst, the more energetically the dust will burn and the
greater is the explosion risk and the greater is the speed of the explosion..
Standard test conditions, used to derive the Kst, are representative of industrial conditions, but do not represent and absolute
worst case. Increased levels of turbulence increase the speed of the explosion dramatically.
* Kst - a normalised expression of the burning dust pressure rise rate over time.
Dusts with Minimum Ignition Energies (MIEs) ranging between 20 and 100 mJ may be sensitive to ignition. They require that:
· plant is grounded
· personnel might also need to be grounded
· the use of high resistivity materials (such as plastics) should be restricted or avoided during handling or in
packaging
The majority of ignition accidents occur within or below this range.
The MIE of a dust/air mix depends on the particle size the water content and the temperature of the dust. The finer and the dryer
the dust the lower the MIE. Higher temperatures cause lower MIE and an increased risk of dust explosion.
Quoted values for MIE generally are only representative. Characteristics may change depending upon the process and
conditions of use or any changes made to the dust during use, including further grinding or mixing with other products. In order to
obtain more specific data for dust, as used, it is recommended that further characterisation testing.is performed.
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that most organic dusts are combustible
(circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires
and / or dust explosions.
Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in
air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including
secondary explosions).
Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture
with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding
of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust (420 micron or less) may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited -
particles exceeding this limit will generally not form flammable dust clouds; once initiated, however, larger particles up to 1400
microns diameter will contribute to the propagation of an explosion.
In the same way as gases and vapours, dusts in the form of a cloud are only ignitable over a range of concentrations; in
principle, the concepts of lower explosive limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) are applicable to dust clouds but only
the LEL is of practical use; - this is because of the inherent difficulty of achieving homogeneous dust clouds at high
temperatures (for dusts the LEL is often called the "Minimum Explosible Concentration", MEC).
When processed with flammable liquids/vapors/mists,ignitable (hybrid) mixtures may be formed with combustible dusts.
Ignitable mixtures will increase the rate of explosion pressure rise and the Minimum Ignition Energy (the minimum amount of
energy required to ignite dust clouds - MIE) will be lower than the pure dust in air mixture. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of
the vapour/dust mixture will be lower than the individual LELs for the vapors/mists or dusts.
A dust explosion may release of large quantities of gaseous products; this in turn creates a subsequent pressure rise of
explosive force capable of damaging plant and buildings and injuring people.
Usually the initial or primary explosion takes place in a confined space such as plant or machinery, and can be of sufficient
force to damage or rupture the plant. If the shock wave from the primary explosion enters the surrounding area, it will disturb
any settled dust layers, forming a second dust cloud, and often initiate a much larger secondary explosion. All large scale
explosions have resulted from chain reactions of this type.
Dry dust can be charged electrostatically by turbulence, pneumatic transport, pouring, in exhaust ducts and during transport.
Build-up of electrostatic charge may be prevented by bonding and grounding.
Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as
explosion venting.
All movable parts coming in contact with this material should have a speed of less than 1-meter/sec.
A sudden release of statically charged materials from storage or process equipment, particularly at elevated temperatures
and/ or pressure, may result in ignition especially in the absence of an apparent ignition source.
One important effect of the particulate nature of powders is that the surface area and surface structure (and often moisture
content) can vary widely from sample to sample, depending of how the powder was manufactured and handled; this means
that it is virtually impossible to use flammability data published in the literature for dusts (in contrast to that published for
gases and vapours).
Autoignition temperatures are often quoted for dust clouds (minimum ignition temperature (MIT)) and dust layers (layer
ignition temperature (LIT)); LIT generally falls as the thickness of the layer increases.
Combustion products include:
,
carbon monoxide (CO)
,
carbon dioxide (CO2)

other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material.

Notes: Occupational exposure banding is a process of assigning chemicals into specific categories or bands based on a chemical's
potency and the adverse health outcomes associated with exposure. The output of this process is an occupational exposure
band (OEB), which corresponds to a range of exposure concentrations that are expected to protect worker health.
generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.

direct spray, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone 1-2.5 m/s (200-500
of rapid air motion) f/min.)
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity
generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the
extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min.) for extraction of gases discharged 2 meters
distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction
apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are
installed or used.
The need for respiratory protection should also be assessed where incidental or accidental exposure is anticipated: Dependent
on levels of contamination, PAPR, full face air purifying devices with P2 or P3 filters or air supplied respirators should be
evaluated.
The following protective devices are recommended where exposures exceed the recommended exposure control guidelines by
factors of:
10; high efficiency particulate (HEPA) filters or cartridges
10-25; loose-fitting (Tyvek or helmet type) HEPA powered-air purifying respirator.
25-50; a full face-piece negative pressure respirator with HEPA filters
50-100; tight-fitting, full face-piece HEPA PAPR
100-1000; a hood-shroud HEPA PAPR or full face-piece supplied air respirator operated in pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode.
Assess operations based upon available dust explosion information to determine the suitability of preventative or protective
systems as precautionary measures against possible dust explosions. If prevention is not possible, consider protection by use of
containment, venting or suppression of dust handling equipment. Where explosion venting is considered to be the most
appropriate method of protection, vent areas should preferably be calculated based on Kst rather than an St value. If nitrogen
purging is considered as the protective system, it must operate with an oxygen level below the limiting oxygen concentration. The
system should include an oxygen monitoring and shut-down facility in the event of excessive oxygen being detected.
The maximum surface temperature of enclosures potentially exposed to this material should be based on values obtained by
taking 2/3 of the minimum ignition temperature (MIE) of the dust cloud. The effect of dust layers should be reviewed.
An isolated (insulated) human body can readily produce electrostatic discharges in excess of 50 mJ, but have been recorded up
to 100 mJ.
When handling very small quantities of the material eye protection may not be required.
For laboratory, larger scale or bulk handling or where regular exposure in an occupational setting occurs:
Chemical goggles. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent]
Face shield. Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
Eye and face protection document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should
include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience.
Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the
event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should
be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers
have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
Rubber gloves (nitrile or low-protein, powder-free latex, latex/ nitrile). Employees allergic to latex gloves should use nitrile
gloves in preference.
Double gloving should be considered.
PVC gloves.
Change gloves frequently and when contaminated, punctured or torn.

· Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
· The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data,
and frequency and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to
personal protective equipment (powered, positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
· Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be
government mandated or vendor recommended.
· Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory
protection program.
· Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU)
· Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
· Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

hazardous reactions
Starch is generally of low toxicity. An abnormal craving for starch (amylophagia) during pregnancy has been recognized in certain
areas.
Studies suggest that by interfering with the metabolism of hormones, methylenedioxyphenol synergists such as the piperonyls
(as piperonyl butoxide - PBO) may damage humeral organs such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. PBO has a low to
moderate toxicity based on short-term laboratory animal studies. The acute oral LD50, or dose that kills half the test population,
was determined to be 6.15 g/kg for rats It is predicted that the oral lethal dose for a human is 5.15 g/kg, or between 1 pint and 1
quart for a 150 lb person. Symptoms caused by ingestion of PBO in large doses include nausea, cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Overdoses of PBO have been shown to cause hyperexcitibility, unsteadiness, coma, seizures, and brain damage in animals.
Ingestion Laboratory animals exposed to single, large oral doses exhibit anorexia, vomiting, diarrhoea, unsteadiness, rough coat, watery
eyes, irritability, prostration, haemorrhagic enteritis, inanition, pulmonary haemorrhage, mild central system depression, bloody
discharge from eyes and nose, liver damage, coma and death. Onset may be as early as 20 minutes after dosing and death may
be delayed for a week. Most rat deaths in studies are attributed to hemorrhages in the digestive tract, particularly the large
intestine. Acute exposure in animals has also triggered hepatic (liver) changes and injury, anemia and loss of appetite, as well as
changes in the kidneys, nasal bleeding, loss of muscle coordination, and abdominal swelling.
Methylenedioxybenzene synergists cause loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, inflamed bowel with bleeding, bleeding from the
lung, wasting and possible central depression.
The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause
transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result.
Eye
Acute and repeated eye contact with piperonyls (as piperonyl butoxide - PBO) has been shown to be slightly irritating, but is not
linked to long-term damage.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general
population.
Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicion this material directly reduces fertility.
The primary effect of long-term exposure to methylenedioxyphenol insect synergists such as the piperonyls (such as piperonyl
butoxide - PBO) in animals is an increase in liver and thyroid weight, liver and kidney damage, and a decrease in body weight.
These symptoms were observed in a diet of 52.8 mg/kg or more a day in a chronic study with dogs.
PBO is a possible human carcinogen. Currently there is no data from accidental exposure available regarding its carcinogenicity
in humans; the only information is from animal studies. Several studies have shown that PBO treatment in rats causes an
increase in liver cancer at high doses. The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma, in male and female rats given 2.4% piperonyl
butoxide was 80.0% and 57.7% respectively. Preneoplastic hepatic lesions such as nodular hyperplasia, cholangiofibrosis, and
modular hyperplasia were also seen.
Some studies have shown that PBO treatment in rats corresponds with a very slight increase in thyroid cancer.
Rats fed diets containing from 0.6 to 2.4% piperonyl butoxide for approximately two years showed dose-related decreases in
body weight. Roughened hair, lethargy, epistaxis, abdominal swelling, and decreased food consumption were observed at 2.4%.
All dose rates induced skin tumours after about 1 year. Cumulative mortality varied from around 15 to 50%. Caecal haemorrhage
was the cause of death. Dead rats with hepatic tumours were seen from week 74, but caecal haemorrhage or possible leukaemia
was the cause of death. At necroscopy in rats surviving to the end of the study, hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas
occurred in both sexes in a dose-related manner. A dose-related increase in thrombocythemia was seen in male rats. The
authors * of this study concluded that the primary feature of chronic piperonyl-butoxide toxicity is hepatocarcinogenicity.
Chronic
It is generally accepted that PBO does not demonstrate any significant potential for mutagenicity (genetic damage) but debate
still exists.
PBO weakens the immune system by inhibiting lymphocyte response. Lymphocytes are a class of white blood cells that consume
potentially dangerous pathogens and release antibodies. Inhibiting lymphocyte response weakens the body's ability to defend
against foreign invaders. Preventing the breakdown of toxic chemicals, may exacerbate potentially toxic effects.
PBO has been shown to adversely affect a variety of reproductive functions. Two-generational laboratory studies on rats show
that litter weight and size are less for mothers exposed to high concentrations of PBO, and there is an increase in birth defects
and fetal death. In one study the difference in the average weight of PBO-exposed offspring immediately after birth is negligible,
but 7-14 days post-natal is significantly greater for those mothers that are exposed to PBO than for those that are not. The U.S.
EPA maintains that results for teratogenicity (the ability to produce birth defects) in animals have been mixed, and while some
studies suggest some teratogenicity, most do not. PBO may also interfere with sexual development because the enzymes it
inhibits are responsible not only for the breakdown of toxic chemicals but also for the metabolism of other compounds such as
steroids, which include the sex hormones. Rats exposed to PBO over the course of two years experience an atrophy of the
testes a decrease in weight of the seminal vesicles (sperm producing structures), and an increase in ovarian weights. There is no
evidence that PBO affects fertility.
Data has shown that PBO alone interferes with enzymes that maintain homeostasis of sodium and calcium in the brain and
nervous system, possibly affecting neural response. Additionally, it increases the neurotoxicity of other compounds. Despite this
data, EPA believes that these neurotoxic effects are slight and maintains that PBO poses no neurological risk.
Behavioral changes have been noted with PBO as well. In a laboratory experiment, exposed rats experience more trouble
navigating a maze than unexposed rats. The exposed rats travel longer distances and turned more frequently in the maze. PBO
also induces changes in olfactory behavior of the offspring of exposed mothers. Offspring of exposed mothers are less likely to
enter a compartment that smells like home than unexposed mothers. Exploratory behavior in mice increases as the dose of PBO
they were treated with increased. This data shows that PBO has the ability to affect behaviors in mammals.
Research on rats has found that PBO can cause intestinal ulcers and bleeding. Liver damage is common in studies,and kidney
damage has been found as well. Long-term ingestion of PBO causes anemia, a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin (oxygen-
transporting molecules) in blood, and increases the blood cholesterol level in rats. PBO can also damage the larynx, and there
have been reports that it can cause labored breathing, an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, nasal bleeding, abdominal swelling,
and loss of the ability to coordinate muscle movement. There has been a fair amount of investigation into the effects of dermal
contact with PBO since it is used as a topical agent for lice, but there has been no evidence of it causing any local or systemic
toxicity, and the amount of PBO absorbed from skin contact is characterized by some researchers as low.

Some workers may develop chronic occupational dermatitis (generally mild) through the handling of starch products.
When starch is used as a lubricant in surgical gloves, small amounts, released into the patient during the course of surgery, have
resulted in granulomas and peritonitis.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis, caused by particles
less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung.
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to make an
assessment.

PIPERINE pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic
skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not
simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are
equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with
stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are
noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

Environmental Fate: Terrestrial Fate - Piperidine is expected to have high mobility in soil. However, as this compound primarily exists in the cation form in the
environment it is likely to adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. While cations do not volatilise from
moist soil surfaces, Piperidine is expected to volatilise from dry soil surfaces and biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil. Aquatic
fate: Piperidine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediments. Volatilisation from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process.
An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Piperidine was found to degrade anaerobically via denitrification in
12-15 days by microbial action in freshwater sediments, estuarine sediments and activated sludge. Atmospheric Fate - Models indicate that piperidine is expected
to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere, where it is degraded by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this
reaction in air is estimated to be 4 hours.

For piperonyls (as piperonyl butoxide - PBO):
Environmental fate:
PBO is relatively short-lived in the environment and has a low to moderate potential to contaminate groundwater. One study found PBO in river water at a
concentration of 9.7 ug/L. It is rapidly degraded when exposed to sunlight, with a degradation half life of about one day in soil exposed to sunlight, and 14 days in
soil without sunlight. The rate of degradation is also affected by how much oxygen is in the environment (particularly in aquatic systems), moisture levels, and
application methods. There is less information available about PBO's persistence indoors, but one study found that PBO persisted for at least two weeks after a
cockroach treatment on toys and in dust in a kindergarten
Ecotoxicity:
Piperonyl is considered moderately toxic to fish, moderately to highly toxic to invertebrates (including crustaceans and insects), and highly toxic to amphibians. In
one study, concentrations of less than one part per million (ppm) killed water fleas, shrimp, and oysters. It is also very toxic to a common type of earthworm.
Ingested PBO has a low to very low toxicity in birds
Not only does PBO kill organisms, it is known to interfere with the reproduction of many types of wildlife at much lower concentrations than those required for
mortality. The bio-concentration potential for PBO is low but can be moderate in some aquatic organisms. PBO also inhibits the breakdown of toxic chemicals in
wildlife and the soil, increasing the concentrations of other, more acutely potent, pesticides.
