Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, unlikely to require medical treatment under normal exposure
Symptoms of Exposure: Eye or respiratory irritation, coughing, sneezing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets can disperse dust
Hazards Arising from Combustion: Dextrose burns to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, incomplete combustion may yield carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use full turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus to guard against respiratory exposure to dust and fumes
Fire/Explosion Risk: Dextrose dust in air may form explosive mixtures; implement proper dust control in storage areas
Personal Precautions: Avoid generation of dust, use face masks and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities from entering surface water drains
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep up spilled material, avoid dry sweeping to prevent dust clouds—use a damp method or vacuum with HEPA filter for thorough removal
Spillage Handling: Collect and place in suitable containers for reuse or disposal as per local regulations
Handling: Avoid breathing dust, use proper ventilation in workplace, maintain good personal hygiene
Safe Techniques: Prevent formation of airborne dust, use closed containers
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition or moisture
Packaging Materials: Moisture-resistant containers, seal tightly after use
Incompatibilities: Isolate from strong oxidizers and sources of strong heat to curb potential reactions
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established permissible limits for dextrose (consider nuisance dust threshold: OSHA PEL 15 mg/m³ total dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to limit airborne concentrations
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, dust masks, gloves as needed for sensitive individuals
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed areas after handling, launder contaminated clothing
Environmental Controls: Controls to reduce spills or dust migration into the environment

Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction
Ecotoxicity: Dextrose is readily biodegradable in environment, minimal hazard for aquatic or terrestrial life
Persistence and Degradability: Subject to rapid microbial degradation
Mobility in Soil: High water solubility means potential for migration in water, but low risk posed
Bioaccumulation: Does not bioaccumulate in living organisms
Other Adverse Effects: Large releases may cause oxygen depletion in bodies of water due to microbial action—improve environmental management to prevent
