Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation:

Typically not an inhalation hazard unless material is broken up and dust is

created. If any irritation develops, move to fresh air.

Eye contact:

Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water. At least fifteen minutes of

flushing is recommended. If any irritation persists, get medical attention.

Skin Contact:

Wash with soap and water.

Ingestion:

Check with the Poison Control Center or a doctor. Do not induce vomiting unless

directed to do so by medical personnel.

the dust may cause coughing and nose and throat irritation. Long term exposure to

respirable crystalline silica in the dust can cause silicosis (lung scarring) and lung

cancer.
