Section VI – Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry:	Eyes? Yes		Inhalation? Yes			Skin? No		Ingestion? No
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic) – This product has the potential for generation of respirable dust during handling and use. Dust may contain respirable crystalline silica. Overexposure to dust may result in pneumocononiosis, a respiratory disease cause by inhalation of mineral dust, which can lead to fibrotic changes to the lung tissue or silicosis, a respiratory disease caused by inhalation of silica dust, which can lead to inflammation and fibrosis of the lung tissue. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled.
Carcinogenicity:		NTP?		IARC Monographs?			OSHA Regulated?
		Yes		Yes			No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Eyes— Dust or powder may irritate eye tissue. Skin— Non-irritating to the skin. Inhalation—Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause toxic effects. Ingestion— No significant adverse effects are expected upon ingestion of the product.
Toxicological Information— Overexposure to dust may result in pneumocononiosis, a respiratory disease caused by inhalation of mineral dust, which can lead to fibrotic changes to the lung tissue, or silicosis, a respiratory disease cause by inhalation of silica dust, which can lead to inflammation and fibrosis of the lung tissue. Acute Effects— Mild irritant to eyes (according to the modified Kay & Calandra criteria) Acute LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg, Rat, Oral. Chronic Effects— In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However in making the overall evaluation. IARC noted that “carcinogenicity was not detected in all Industrial circumstanced studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity of distribution of its polymorph.” (IARC monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to humans, Silica silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68 IARC, Lyon, France) In 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific committee on Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis. There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk. (SCOEL SUM Doc 91 final, June 2003)
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. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Get medical attention if needed. Skin—No special measures required. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Eyes—Flush eyes immediately wit large amounts of water. If irritation persists get medical attention. Ingestion— No special measure required. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, seek medical attention.
Section VII – Precautions For Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled – Material can be slippery when wet. Wear a dust mask if dust is generated above exposure limits. Avoid the generation of dust during clean up. Collect dust of particulates using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water.
Disposable Considerations – Dispose in accordance will all applicable regulations. Material should be recycled if possible.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing – Keep formation of airborne dusts to a minimum. Avoid breathing dust. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. No special storage conditions required. No special restriction on storage with other products. Guard against dust accumulation of this material. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Section VIII – Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – Use a particulate filter respirator for particulate concentrations exceeding the occupation exposure limit.
Ventilation – Use local exhaust as required maintaining exposures below applicable occupational exposure limits (See Section II).
Protective Gloves – No special protective equipment required.					Eye Protection – Wear dust goggles.
Other protective Clothing or Equipment – As appropriate for work environment. Dusty clothing should be laundered before reuse. Eye wash fountain is recommended.
Work/Hygienic Practices – Observe good hygiene. Wash hands thoroughly after eating, drinking, and using restrooms, etc.
