Potential health effects
Acute Swallowed: Non-toxic, although ingestion of large quantities may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal system as a result of abrasive action. Eye: Sand is an irritant, due to abrasive action. Skin: Not absorbed through skin. May cause abrasions. Inhaled: Irritating if inhaled in high concentrations, causing coughing, shortness of breath and/or sneezing. Chronic In common with many minerals, ilmenite contains low levels of naturally occurring radioactive elements of the Uranium and Thorium series. The main radiological hazard from the product is internal exposure to alpha particles given off by inhaled dust. Suitable dust control measures shall be employed to ensure occupational exposure to generated dust and alpha particles are kept as low as reasonably achievable. Prolonged exposure to low level gamma radiation from bulk or bagged stockpiles of ilmenite may present a lesser, external hazard.
