EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: CAUTION! Irritating to respiratory tract. Avoid contact with eyes. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not apply directly to water or areas that are regularly under water.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, eye and skin contact, ingestion SIGNS OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: Dusts may be irritating to the respiratory tract and cause coughing, wheezing, and expectoration. May cause eye irritation, seen as redness and tearing. SIGNS OF CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Chronic inhalation exposure to crystalline silica may cause pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). OTHER POTENTIAL EFFECTS: This product contains clay. A naturally occurring component of clay is crystalline silica (e.g. quartz is one form of crystalline silica). Inhalation of crystalline silica may cause pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). The IARC has classified crystalline silica as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Skin irritation may be aggravated in persons with existing skin lesions. Breathing of dust may aggravate acute and chronic asthma and other chronic pulmonary diseases.
