Potential health effects
EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation on direct contact. SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation. May cause dermatitis on prolonged or repeated contact. INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed in large quantities. 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 a known human carcinogen based on increased lung cancer rates in workers exposed to respirable-size (breathable) crysialline silica, primarily quartz and cristobalite, 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 cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans. However, no significant health risk to employees is expected during product manufacturing or occupational use.
