Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE TO
AIRBORNE ASBESTOS FIBERS FROM SANDING, CUTTING, SCRAPPING, FILING,
ETC. MAY LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS AND MESOTHELIOMA. SMOKING COMBINED WITH

Explanation of Carcinogenicity:OVEREXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS
OF ASBESTOS MAY LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS AND MESOTHELIOMA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION OF AIRBORNE DUST CONTAINING ASBESTOS
FIBERS ON REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE OR CAN LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS /
MESOTHELIOMA; DUST MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH RESPIRATORY DISEASE OR
PERSONS WHO SMOKE MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE TO DUST
CONTAINING ASBESTOS FIBERS.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE:
PROMPTLY FLUSH WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES WHILE LIFTING
