CAUTION
Wet activated carbon can react with oxygen to make the atmosphere dangerous for human
life. A suitable confined space entry procedure must be used in full accordance with applicable
local, state or national regulations. Entry to enclosed spaces, containing activated carbon,
must only be allowed when adequate precautions have been taken to ensure the space is
properly ventilated with fresh air and the atmosphere is continuously monitored to confirm there
is adequate oxygen content for respiration.
