SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Principle Routes of Exposure
Occasional nuisance dust, Inhalation SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE EYES May cause irritation to the eyes. SKIN May cause irritation to the skin. INGESTION This product is not intended to be ingested. If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract. INHALATION May cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Acute Health Hazards
NIOSH has found that studies of workers exposed to asphalt fumes have repeatedly found irritation of the serous membranes of the conjunctivae (eye irritation) and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract (nasal and throat irritation).
Health hazards
Studies in humans have found that exposure to respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis is a serious and irreversible disease; it may be progressive even after exposure has ceased; it can lead to disability and death. CARCINOGENICITY Crystalline Silica: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Group 1 - Known Human Carcinogen (listed under Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources). IARC has determined that occupational exposure to oxidized asphalt and its emissions is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).
