Potential Health Effects
Inhalation Acute (Immediate) • May cause coughing and/or sneezing. Temporary irritation of nose and throat may occur.
Chronic (Delayed) • Silicosis (pulmonary fibrosis or severe lung scarring) may occur if exposed to high levels or
repeated encounters with dust. This product contains crystalline silica (quartz) which is listed by
IARC as carcinogen and a known human carcinogen by NTP. Exposure to airborne particles that
exceed the limits listed may cause lung cancer and kidney damage.
Skin Acute (Immediate) • Dust or powder may result in mechanical irritation of the skin characterized by itchingor
redness. Rubbing skin may increase irritation.
Skin Chronic (Delayed) • No data available.
Eye Acute (Immediate) • Mechanical irritation of the eye may occur characterized by itching orredness.
Rubbing may cause abrasion of cornea.
Eye Chronic (Delayed) • No data available.
Ingestion Acute (Immediate) • Ingestion of this product unlikely. Ingestion of particles may cause gastrointestinal irritation
Ingestion Chronic (Delayed) • No data available
