SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Potential health effects
EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation on direct contact, but no permanent injury is expected. SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation on prolonged or repeated contact. INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed in large amounts. INHALATION: Overexposure to dust may cause respiratory irritation. CHRONIC: This product contains a small amount of crystalline silica, a naturally occurring impurity in calcium carbonate. NTP has listed crystalline silica as an known human carcinogen based on increased lung cancer rates in workers exposed to respirable-size (breathable) crystalline silica, primarily quartz and crystabolite, that are generated during sandblasting or similar activities in an occupational setting. IARC has determined that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or crystabolite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans. However, no significant health risk to employees is expected during product manufacturing or occupational use. __________________________________________________________________________________________________
