Not Covered by GHS Eye: May cause irritation. Chalk dust is discomforting and abrasive to the eyes. Skin: Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation. When the product is used as intended, it is unlikely to cause discomfort. Ingestion: Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Ingestion is considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial or industrial environments. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. When the product is used as intended, it is unlikely to cause discomfort. Chronic: Repeated and prolonged inhalation exposure to crystalline silica dust above exposure limits may cause delayed, chronic lung injury (silicosis).
