3.2 Potential Health Effects
·
Immediate Hazards
INGESTION: No hazards known to company.
INHALATION: Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of
use. However, if allowed to become airborne, may cause
irritation of nose, throat and lungs.
SKIN: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
EYES: May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
·
Delayed Hazards
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) 471-34-1
Can cause lung damage. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be
aggravated by exposure.
-- See Footnote C.
Limestone 1317-65-3
Can cause lung damage. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be
aggravated by exposure.
-- See Footnote C.
Titanium Dioxide 13463-67-7
Inhalation at approximately 50 times the level permitted in an
occupational environment caused a slight increase in lung tumor
incidence in laboratory animals. No tumors were found at lower
exposure levels. This material is not listed by NTP, classified by
IARC nor regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
Can cause lung fibrosis. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may
be aggravated by exposure.
Quartz (SiO2) 14808-60-7
CANCER HAZARD. Can cause cancer. Use of this product may
generate silica dust (which may be invisible). Inhaled silica has
been classified by IARC as a human carcinogen.
Footnote C: As of the date of issuance of this document, this
material has not been listed by NTP, classified by IARC nor regulated
by OSHA as a carcinogen.
4. First Aid Measures
INGESTION: If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large
quantities of water. Immediately contact poison control
center or hospital emergency room for any other
additional treatment directions.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
SKIN: In case of irritation, flush with water.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Call
a physician if irritation persists.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Autoignition Temperature Not available
Upper/Lower Flammable Limits Not applicable

6. Accidental Release
Measures
Sweep (scoop) up and remove to a chemical disposal area. Prevent
entry into natural bodies of water.
7. Handling and Storage
7.1 Handling
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and
removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Always use appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
INHALATION: Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dust or
vapor.
SKIN: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and clothing.
EYES: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes.
7.2 Storage
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep containers tightly closed.
Do not store or handle at temperatures in excess of 130'F.
8. Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection
8.1 Exposure Controls
If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or
handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should
be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below
acceptable criteria.
8.2 Personal Protection
Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirators should be
selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air
in accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or other applicable
standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding
respiratory protection. Use goggles if contact is likely. Wear
impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
