SECTION XI TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
LIKELY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
Skin contact, eye contact, inhalation, ingestion.
SYMPTOMS RELATED TO PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL/TOXICOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Skin Contact: Dust or occasional contamination on the skin will cause no adverse
effects.
Eye Contact: Entry of dust or chips into the eyes as a foreign body will cause local irritation.
Inhalation: Heavy contamination with dust may cause respiratory irritation to nose and
throat. Repeated exposure by inhalation may cause a serious chronic effect
which could lead to silicosis, a serious lung disease. The onset of silicosis is
usually slow and lung damage may occur without symptoms or signs of ill health.
Silicosis can develop to a more serious degree even after exposure has ceased
and may lead to other diseases including heart disease. Development of silicosis
may increase the risk of lung cancer. To minimize the risk, caution should be
taken when sawing or during demolition of Thin Brick and Quarry Tile. Wet
cutting, proper ventilation, and the use of a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA
approved particulate respirator is recommended.
Ingestion: Unlikely, but non-toxic if swallowed.
DELAYED, IMMEDIATE, AND CHRONIC EFFECTS OF SHORT AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE
Short-Term Exposure: Not Available
Long-Term Exposure: The dust generated from cutting Thin Brick and Quarry Tile may release
respirable Crystalline Silica, a known carcinogen, and prolonged or repeated
inhalation of dust may lead to silicosis and cancer.
NUMERICAL MEASURES OF TOXICITY
Acute Toxicity: Not Available
