Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview: A solid grey-powder material that is not flammable and combustible at room temperatures. This product is relatively non-toxic and does not pose an immediate hazard to the health of emergency response personnel or to the environment in an emergency situation.
Potential health effects
Acute exposure to iron oxide (Fe2O3) dust or fume can cause x-ray changes (siderois or iron pigmentation) in the lungs as a result of long-term exposure. Siderosis is a benign condition and is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis. Silicon carbide dust may cause mild irritation of the upper respiratory tract on acute overexposure. Chronic overexposure to particulates of respirable size may cause lung inflammation, difficult breathing, chest pain, coughing, and pneumoconiosis or possible fibrotic changes in the lungs. Prolonged overexposure to respirable crystalline silica in excess of the TLV may result in irreversible fibrosis of the lungs (silicosis.)
Environmental effects
The product has a high degree of intrinsic chemical stability and is relatively non-toxic in the environment. This material is normally stored in closed containers.
