Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Respiratory disorders Exposure: HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE Inhalation Acute Inhalation For Component: Iron (III) Oxide May cause mechanical irritation. For Component: Amorphous Silica May cause mechanical irritation. Chronic Inhalation For Component: Amorphous Silica Prolonged inhalation of amorphous silica may produce x-ray changes in the lungs without disability. Skin Acute Skin For Component: Iron (III) Oxide May cause mechanical irritation. Eye Acute Eye For Component: Iron (III) Oxide May cause mechanical irritation. For Component: Amorphous Silica May cause mechanical irritation. Other Effects of Exposure For Component: Iron (III) Oxide Prolonged inhalation (6 to 10 years) of iron oxide fume has been reported to produce changes in lung x- rays of exposed individuals. This condition, siderosis, is considered to be a begnign pnuemoconiosis that exhibits no adverse health effects. Siderosis has been observed among occupations such as arc-welders where iron oxide fumes are present. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not been observed after prolonged exposure to iron oxide pigments. Carcinogenicity: No Carcinogenic substances as defined by IARC, NTP and/or OSHA.
