Always handle calcium carbonate with care. Avoid inhaling dust; wear a dust mask during handling, especially when crushing or processing large quantities.
Ingestion of large amounts can cause digestive upset. Follow recommended dosages on any product labels carefully. If you experience any adverse reactions, contact a doctor immediately.
Direct skin contact is generally harmless, but prolonged exposure to wet calcium carbonate might cause irritation for some individuals. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
Store calcium carbonate in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage prevents clumping and degradation.
