Principle Routes of Exposure

Inhalation (dry form only), ingestion and dermal May cause skin and eye irritation, Lung effects including cancer, silicosis Silica, Crystalline (Quartz) A single exposure will not result in serious adverse health effects. Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis may be progressive; it may lead to disability and death. Crystalline silica (quartz) inhaled from occupational sources is classified as carcinogenic to humans. There are some studies that show excess numbers of cases of scleroderma and other connective tissue disorders in workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica. Silicosis increases the risk of tuberculosis. Some studies that show an increased incidence of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease in workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica. Nickel or Nickel Compounds Nickel dust or fume can cause sensitization dermatitis and may cause cancer of the paranasal sinuses and the lungs. Nickel fumes are respiratory irritants and may cause pneumonitis. Skin contact may cause an allergic skin rash. Material causes eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Dust from handling can cause irritation of nose and throat. Prolonged exposure could cause serious respiratory illness and lung damage. Sensitized persons may develop wheezing and shortness of breath. Can also cause an allergic skin rash in some individuals. Avoid breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed.
