Special Notes: *** Greater amounts of Quartz and Cristobalite may be formed after firing.
Major portion of the crystalline silica present in the product as manufactured is not fine enough to normally be considered
respirable.
Precautionary Statements:
P260+P261 - Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
P280 - Wear eye protection/face protection
P285 - Wear respiratory protection
P305+P351+P338 - If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water.
P302+P352 - If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
P501- Dispose of material in accordance with local regulation.
Primary Route of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin Contact
Target Organs: respiratory tract (nose & throat), eyes, skin
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: May cause irritation. Abrasive action of dust can damage eye.
Skin: May cause irritation
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Inhalation: Effects of overexposure:
1. Acute: Exposure to nuisance dust may cause temporary irritation or discomfort to skin, eyes, nose, throat or lungs and may
aggravate bronchial disorders.
2. Chronic: Long term inhalation of respirable quartz, cristobalite, fused silica and/or amorphous silica may cause silicosis (delayed
lung injury) and other respiratory disorders. In addition there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica to
humans.
