*WARNING:

This product contains a small amount of quartz that may cause delayed respiratory disease if inhaled over a prolonged period of

time. Avoid breathing dust. Use NIOH/MSHA approved respirator where TLV for quartz may be exceed. IARC Monograph on

Carcinogenicity of Risk of Chemicals to humans (volume 68, 1997) concludes that quartz is carcinogenic to humans (IARC

classification 1).

Any substance listed as hazardous by the State of California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania or

Section VI – Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry:	Eyes? Yes			Inhalation? Yes			Skin? No		Ingestion? No
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic) – This product is a chemically inert, non-combustible mineral. A single exposure will not result in serious adverse effects. Excessive occupational, uncontrolled inhalation of dust may cause lung disease, silicosis, with symptoms of shortness of breath and reduced pulmonary function. May cause delayed respiratory disease if dust inhaled over prolonged period of time.
Carcinogenicity:		NTP?				IARC Monographs?		OSHA Regulated?
		Yes				Yes		No
Signs and symptoms of Exposure: Inhalation—Breathing silica dust may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory passages. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic heath effects: Silicosis: Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause a progressive, disabling and sometimes-fatal lung disease call silicosis. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific hest illness and reduces pulmonary function. This disease is exacerbated by smoking. Individuals with silicosis are predisposed to develop tuberculosis. Cancer Status: The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or critobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1 – carcinogenic to humans). Refer to IARC Monograph 69, Silica,. Some Silicates and Organic Fibers (published in June1997) in conjunction with the use of these materials. The National Toxicology Program Classifies respirable crystalline silica as a known human carcinogen. For further information see “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure” published by the American Thoracic Society Medical Section Medical Section of the American lung Association American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pg 761-765, 1997. Skin— No adverse effect expected. Eyes—Contact may cause mechanical irritation and possible injury. Ingestion— No Adverse effects expected for normal, incidental ingestion.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated –Individual with pulmonary and/or respiratory disease including but not limited to asthma and bronchitis should be precluded from exposure to dust.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures. Inhalation—Remove to fresh air, give oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary, seek medical attention. Skin—No first aid should be needed since this product does not affect the skin. Wash exposed skin with soap and water before breaks and at the end of the shift. Eyes—Flush with large amounts of cool running water for at least 15 minutes while holding upper and lower lids open. If irritation persists get medical attention immediately. Ingestion— If large amounts are swallowed, get immediate medical attention.
Section VII – Precautions For Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled - Vacuum if possible to avoid generating airborne dust. Avoid breathing dust. Wear an approved respirator. Avoid adding water; the product will become slippery when wet.
Waste Disposal Method – Follow federal, state and local regulations for solid waste.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing – Do not breathe dust. Use normal precautions against bag breakage or spills or bulk material. Avoid creation of respirable dust. Use good housekeeping in storage and use area to prevent accumulation of dust in work areas. Use adequate ventilation and dust collection . Maintain and use proper, clean respiratory equipment. Launder clothing that has become dusty. Empty containers (bags, bulk containers, storage tank, etc.) retain silica residue and must be handled in accordance with provisions of this MSDS. Warn and train employees in accordance with state and federal regulations.
Section VIII – Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – Use appropriate respiratory protection for respirable particulate based on consideration of airborne workplace concentration and duration of exposure arising from intend end use. Refer to Most recent standard of ANSI (Z88.2) OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134), MSHA (30 CFR Parts 56 and 57) and NIOSH respirator decision logic..
Ventilation – Use local exhaust as required maintaining exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits (See Section II).
Protective Gloves – Recommended	Eye Protection – Recommended				Other protective Clothing or Equipment – As appropriate for work environment. Dusty clothing should be laundered before reuse.
Work/Hygienic Practices – Observe good hygiene. Wash hands thoroughly after eating, drinking, and using restrooms, etc.
