SAFETY DATA SHEET (REGULATION (EC) n° 1907/2006 - REACH) Date: 13/02/2015
Version: N°6 (29/10/2012) Revision: N°5 (01/10/2012)
Wet Activated Carbon depletes oxygen from air and, therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be
encountered. Whenever workers enter a vessel containing activated carbon, the oxygen content should be
determined and work procedures for potentially low oxygen areas should be followed.
