SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Emergency Overview: A colored paste product with a very slight ammonia odor. WARNING! Do not breathe vapors. Vapor inhalation may cause injury to blood and liver and may cause drowsiness. Use only with adequate ventilation. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation. May cause eye, skin, nose, throat and respiratory tract irritation. Causes eye, skin, nose, throat, lung and respiratory tract irritation. Vapors harmful if inhaled. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Causes eye irritation. Refer to other MSDS sections for other detailed information. Effects Of Overexposure - Eye Contact: Causes eye irritation. Effects Of Overexposure - Skin Contact: Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Effects Of Overexposure - Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled. Vapor harmful. May affect the brain or nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, mucous membranes). Effects Of Overexposure - Ingestion: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion may result in obstruction when material hardens. Aspiration of material into the lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. Effects Of Overexposure - Chronic Hazards NOTICE Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Symptoms include: loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause skin, respiratory, kidney and liver damage. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause irritation and possibly dermatitis. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite that is inhaled from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1- carcinogenic to humans). Refer to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some Silicates and Organic Fibres (published in June 1997) in conjunction with the use of these materials. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies respirable crystalline silica as "known to be a human carcinogen". Refer to the 9th Report on Carcinogens (2000). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (Group A2). Breathing dust containing respirable crystalline silica may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic health effects: Excessive inhalation of respirable dust can cause pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, progressive, disabling and sometimes fatal lung injury. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest illness and reduced pulmonary function. Smoking exacerbates this disease. Individuals with pneumoconiosis are predisposed to develop tuberculosis. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal organs) and kidney disease. Overexposure or misuse of toluene can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage as well as cardiac abnormalities. There have been cases of aplastic anemia from toluene in industrial exposures (ACGIH, 1992). Increased coagulation time and reduced clotting factors have also been found, which are indicators of damage to the bone marrow (Clayton & Clayton, 1994). Symptoms include: loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
