Potential health effects

In some individuals, short term exposure of material may produce mild and temporary discomfort to the respiratory tract resulting in wheezing, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath and coughing. Although they may be present in low amounts, dust and small pieces of material may aggravate bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema, if inhaled. Skin Although being a fine material, particulate matter and dust may be present in low quantities, contact with such items may result in irritation (redness/itching) or other effects. Eyes Material is abrasive if it enters the eye, which can cause irritation to severe damage if left untreated. Ingestion Irritation of mucus membranes of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach along with nausea may occur. Abrasion to the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestinal tract may occur. Repeated exposure Repeated exposure to material may result in sensitization in susceptible individuals.
