Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: PROD BECOMES ALKALINE WHEN
EXPOSED TO MOISTURE. EXPOS CAN DRY SKIN, CAUSE ALKALI BURNS & EFT
MUC MEMS. DUST CAN IRRIT EYES & UPPER RESP SYS. TOX EFTS NOTED IN
ANIMALS INCL, FOR ACUTE EXPOS, ALV EOLAR DMG W/PULM EDEMA. CHRONIC:
DUST CAN CAUSE INFLAMM OF LINING TISS OF INTERIOR OF NOSE & INFLAMM
OF CORNEA. HYPERSENS INDIVIDUALS MAY DEVELOP ALLERGIC DERM.
RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA (QUARTZ) CAN CAUSE SILICOSIS,
FIBROSIS (SCARRING) OF LUNGS & POSSIBLY CANCER. THERE IS EVIDENCE
THAT EFTS OF EXPOS TO RESPIRABLE SILICA/DISEASE SILICOSIS IS
ASSOCD W/INCR INCIDENCE OF SCLERODERMA, TUBERCULOSI S & KIDNEY
DISORDERS. (EFTS OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SILICA, CRYSTALLINE - QUARTZ: IARC
MONOGRAPHS VOLUME 68, PAGE 41, 1997: GROUP 1. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT
ON CARCINOGENS, 1998: REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SIGNS & SYMPS OF EXPOS: SYMPS OF
EXCESSIVE EXPOS TO DUST INCL SHORTNESS OF BRTH & REDUCED PULM
FUNCTION. EXCESSIVE EXPOS TO SKIN & EYES ESP WHEN MIXED W/H*2O CAN
CAUSE CAUSTIC BURNS AS SEV A S THIRD DEGREE. NTP: THE NTP PROGRAM,
IN ITS 6TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCIN CONCLUDED THAT "SILICA, CRYSTALLINE
(RESPIRABLE)" MAY REASONABLY BE ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCIN, BASED ON
SUFFICIENT EVID IN EXPERIME NTAL ANIMALS & LIMITED EVID IN HUMANS.
IARC: THE IARC CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS "SUFFICIENT EVID IN HUMANS
FOR CARCIN OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA IN FORMS OF QUARTZ/CRISTOBALITE"
FROM OCCUP SOURCES", (SUPDA T)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH SENSITIVE SKIN AND
WITH PULMONARY AND/OR RESPIRATORY DISEASE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS, OR SUBJECT TO EYE IRRITATION,
SHOULD BE PRECLUDED FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:EYES: IRRIGATE (FLOOD ) EYES IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY WITH
CLEAN WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SKIN: WASH EXPOSED SKIN AREAS
WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION OR INFLAMMATION OCCURS SEEK
PROMPT ME DICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: FOR GROSS INHALATION,
REMOVE PERSON IMMEDIATELY TO FRESH AIR, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
AS NEEDED. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: CALL MD
IMMEDIATELY .

Extinguishing Media:MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE .
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NON COMBUSTIBLE AND NOT EXPLOSIVE.

Spill Release Procedures:IF SPILLED, USE DUSTLESS METHODS (VACUUM) AND
PLACE INTO CLOSABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL OR USE IF NOT
CONTAMINATED OR WET. USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

Handling and Storage Precautions:WARN EMPLOYEES AND/OR CUSTOMERS OF THE
HAZARDS AND REQUIRED OSHA PRECAUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF
THIS PRODUCT.
Other Precautions:PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED BECAUSE BURNS OCCUR WITH
LITTLE WARNING -- LITTLE HEAT IS SENSED.

Respiratory Protection:DO NOT BREATHE DUST. IN DUSTY INVIRONMENTS, THE
USE OF NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IS RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST CAN BE USED, IF NECESSARY, TO CONTROL
AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
DESIGN CRITERIA . USE OF BARRIER CREAMS, BOOTS AND CLOTHING TO
PROTECT THE SKIN FROM CONTACT IS RECOMENDED.
Work Hygienic Practices:FOLLOWING WORK, WORKERS SHOULD SHOWER WITH SOAP
AND WATER.
