Section
6: Health Hazard Data (applies to unused product)
Route (s) of Entry:
Inhalation, ingestion, open wounds, eyes.
Health Hazards:
Contact with eyes, skin or clothing may cause irritation. Care must be taken to
minimize exposure and prevent workplace inhalation of respirable dust.
Respiratory protection is required for exposures above the recommended level of
respirable dust. A similar product, ground very finely, produced an inflammatory
tissue response in the lungs in a lifetime exposure inhalation experiment with
animals. According to the EPA “Hazard Categories” under sections 311 and 312
of SARA Title III, this product is considered to meet the applicable definitions
of: A delayed health hazard.
Carcinogenicity:
None known
IARC Monographs:
No
OSHA Regulated:
No
Signs/Symptoms
of Exposure: Slight irritant effects
Medical Conditions
Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
Emergency and First
Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Flush with
large quantity of water, consult physician.
Skin: Wash with soap
and water.
Inhalation: Remove
to fresh air, consult physician.
Section

Protection: Use NIOSH or MSHA with high efficiency filter for particulate
levels above 0.05mg/m3.
Ventilation:
Local Exhaust – as appropriate
Mechanical
(General) - as appropriate

Precautions to be
taken in handling & storing:
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid breathing
powder. Avoid skin and eye contact.
