General Effects of Exposure Acute Effects of Exposure For Product: SUEDE CH 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: SUEDE CH 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: SUEDE CH 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.

Carcinogenic Effects For Component: Titanium dioxide (Rutile) Human epidemiology studies do not suggest an association between occupational exposure to titanium dioxide and risk of cancer. Carcinogenicity: Crystalline Quartz Silica NTP - Hazard Designation: Known carcinogen. IARC - Overall evaluation: 1 Human carcinogen. Titanium dioxide (Rutile) IARC - Overall evaluation: 2B Possible carcinogen.
