Health hazards

irritating to eyes and skin. Note the presence of silica flour in this product. Exposure to this ingredient is scheduled as requiring Health Surveillance. Corrosive to some metals. Not believed to be corrosive to human tissues.

Potential health effects

Inhalation Short term exposure: Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. However product may be mildly irritating, although unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort. Long Term exposure: A commonly known health hazard which has been associated historically with the inhalation of silica-containing dusts is silicosis. Silicosis is a fibrotic lung disease (development of scar tissue in the lungs) which can be progressive and disabling; it can lead to death. It is the primary health risk from breathing silica and the oldest known occupational disease. To pose a danger to the lungs, a dust particle must be respirable. A dust particle is considered respirable if it is smaller than 10 micrometers. Dust particles that are respirable are capable of being inhaled into the conducting airways and gas exchange regions of the lungs. Dust particles larger than 10 micrometers are not capable of penetrating the defence mechanisms of the lung to produce injury to the important lower regions of the lung where oxygen transfer takes place. There are three different types of silicosis. Chronic silicosis may result from prolonged inhalation of excessive levels of respirable silica dust, and may take many years of exposure to develop. A second type, accelerated silicosis, may occur in a relatively shorter period of time from the inhalation of intense excessive levels of respirable silica dust. Acute silicosis, the third type, develops rapidly and has been reported in occupations such as sand blasting and drilling through silica-containing rock. Cases of acute silicosis and complicated cases of chronic silicosis and accelerated silicosis can be fatal. Skin Contact: Short term exposure: Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. It should present no hazards in normal use. However product is a skin irritant. Symptoms may include itchiness and reddening of contacted skin. Other symptoms may also become evident, but all should disappear once exposure has ceased. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure. Eye Contact: Short term exposure: This product is an eye irritant. Symptoms may include stinging and reddening of eyes and watering which may become copious. Other symptoms may also become evident. If exposure is brief, symptoms should disappear once exposure has ceased. However, lengthy exposure or delayed treatment may cause permanent damage. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure. Ingestion: Short term exposure: Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. However, this product is a severe oral irritant. Symptoms may include extreme pain and reddening of skin in mouth and throat. Other symptoms such as blisters may also become evident, and may last long after exposure has ceased. Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion. Carcinogen Status: SWA: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by SWA. NTP: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP. IARC: Silica* is classed 1 by IARC - carcinogenic to humans. See the IARC website for further details. A web address has not been provided as addresses frequently change. * Specifically, crystalline silica of respirable size is classed as carcinogenic.
