Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation, Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Ingestion

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

Respiratory disorders, Eye disorders, Skin disorders Exposure: HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE Inhalation Acute Inhalation For Product: RAWHIDE RP May cause respiratory tract irritation with symptoms of coughing, sore throat and runny nose. Skin Acute Skin For Product: RAWHIDE RP May cause irritation with symptoms of reddening and itching. Not expected to be a skin sensitizer. Eye Acute Eye For Product: RAWHIDE RP Causes irritation with symptoms of reddening, tearing, stinging, and swelling. Ingestion Acute Ingestion For Product: RAWHIDE RP Not expected to be harmful if swallowed. General Effects of Exposure Acute Effects of Exposure For Product: RAWHIDE RP Exposure to Silica, Quartz can cause a very serious lung disease called Silicosis with cough, shortness of breath, and changes in chest x-ray. The earliest symptoms of silicosis may include: Shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, fatigue, chest pain, loss of appetite and fever.

Potential chronic health

of Exposure For Product: RAWHIDE RP Excessive exposure to airborne crystalline silica can cause fibrotic lung damage, with scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. This is called "Silicosis". This is generally a slowly developing fibrotic disease as symptoms are usually delayed for 10 years or more. Symptoms are dyspnea, chest pain, breathlessness, and cough. The chronic lung scarring developed from the silica dust causes a progressive massive fibrosis. This may lead to increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. Other Effects of Exposure For Product: RAWHIDE RP 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: Crystalline Quartz Silica NTP - Hazard Designation: Known carcinogen. IARC - Overall evaluation: 1 Human carcinogen.
