SECTION 2: Hazards identification

The hazards listed below may occur if the PELs and/or TLVs exceed the constituent’s established values listed in section 3: Glycerin Mist: May cause irritation to the eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract. May cause headache, nausea, vomiting; kidney injury. Zinc Chloride (Fume): May cause irritation to lower and upper respiratory tracts. May cause irritation to eyes, skin, nose, throat; conjunctivitis; cough, copious sputum; dyspnea (breathing difficulty), chest pain, pulmonary edema, pneumonitis; pulmonary fibrosis, cor pulmonale; fever; cyanosis; tachypnea; skin burns. Silicon: Inhalation of silicon dust/fumes may cause irritation to the upper respiratory system; symptoms include: cough/irritation. Contact with skin and/or eyes may cause dermatitis/irritation. Silica (Crystalline Quartz/Cristobalite) Repeated inhalation of silica crystalline dust/particulates can cause serious chronic lung damage, known as silicosis. Silicosis involves inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue; pulmonary fibrosis. Lung cancer is contributed to chronic exposure to silica (crystalline) dust/fumes. Oxides: Inhalation of certain elements and their oxides contained in this product may be hazardous. Dust/fumes can cause irritation to the eyes, nasal passage, GI tract, skin, and respiratory system. Other conditions that may result from exposures exceeding TLVs/PELs include:  Acute Flu-like fever: Symptoms as normal fever  Conjunctivitis: Any inflammatory condition of the membrane that lines the eyelid and covers the exposed surface of the sclera (the white of the eye)  Dermatitis: Inflammation of the skin; rash  Pneumoconiosis: Is fibrosis and scarring of the lungs due to the chronic (long-term) occupational inhalation of dusts such as coal, silica, asbestos, or various mineral compounds. Early symptoms include chest tightness and shortness of breath. Advanced symptoms include serious breathing impairment, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.  Pneumonitis: Inflammation of the lung tissue, characterized by coughing and difficulty breathing  Skin erythema: Redness of the skin that is produced by congestion of the capillaries.
