Precautionary statements

Do not tamper until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Wear impervious gloves, such as nitrile. Wear eye protection and protective clothing. 1 Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not breathe dust.

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation and ingestion DESCRIPTION Eye contact: Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excessive blinking and tear production, redness and swelling of the conjunctiva. Skin contact: Causes skin irritation due to corrosive action. Handling may cause dry skin, discomfort, irritation, thickening, scaling or cracking of the skin and dermatitis. The symptoms can appear in a variety of ways ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Sensitized people may react on their first contact with the product. Other people may experience this effect for the first time after years of contact. Portland cement in this product can cause serious, potentially irreversible damage to the skin, eyes, respiratory and digestive tract due to chemical (caustic) burns, including third degree burns. Portland cement burns do not cause immediate pain or discomfort. Therefore, you cannot rely on pain to alert you to cement burns. Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with Portland cement, as they may worsen even after the contact is finished. In that sense, immediately remove all the product from the body and rinse it completely with water. Skin burns and irritation may be caused by brief exposure, although they are often caused by a prolonged exposure of 15 minutes, an hour or more. The interaction of Portland cement with water or sweat releases a caustic solution that causes burns or irritation. Any extended exposure should be treated as if a burn had occurred until otherwise determined. Contact of the skin with Portland cement can also cause inflammation of the skin, known as dermatitis. Signs and symptoms of dermatitis may include itching, redness, swelling, blistering, peeling, and other changes in the normal condition of the skin. 2 The signs and symptoms of burn include the above and whitening, yellowing, blackening, scaling or cracking of the skin. Portland cement in this product may cause allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized persons. This exaggerated reaction of the immune system can lead to severe inflammation. Sensitization may result from a single exposure to low Cr (VI) levels in Portland cement or repeated exposures for months or years. Sensitization is long-lasting and, after sensitization, even very small amounts can trigger dermatitis. Sensitization is infrequent. People experiencing skin problems, including seemingly minor ones, are advised to seek medical attention. Inhalation: Inhalation of dust can cause coughing and forced breathing and possibly irritation, resulting in damage to organs after prolonged or repeated exposure. In addition, prolonged or repeated inhalation of breathable silica from this product may cause silicosis. The ATRIA mortar contains considerable amounts of silica quartz and prolonged exposure of it can aggravate other lung conditions and cause silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease. Ingestion: Irritating to the mouth, throat and stomach. Do not induce vomiting without medical attention. Carcinogenic Potential: Quartz silica is a potential contaminant at trace levels, as it is now classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a known human carcinogen (Group I). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) assigned the breathable silica the "reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogenic" characteristic.
