Potential health effects

Eye: Dusts, if generated, may be abrasive and irritating to the eyes and cause stinging, watering and redness. Skin: Dusts, if generated, may be abrasive and mildly irritating to the skin. No harmful effects from skin absorption are expected. Inhalation (Breathing): The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated, however, a low degree of toxicity by inhalation of dusts, if generated, is expected. Effects of overexposure to dusts may include irritation of the nose and throat, coughing, shortness of breath and lung disease. Ingestion (Swallowing): The toxicological properties of this material have not been fully investigated, however, a low degree of toxicity by ingestion is expected. Ingestion of large amounts may cause local gastrointestinal upset. Signs and Symptoms: Effects of overexposure may include irritation of nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Cancer: No data available on mixture Target Organs: No data available on mixture. Studies of specific occupational groups with high-level silica exposure (e.g., miners) have shown increased rates of autoimmune diseases compared to the expected rates in the general population. Developmental: No data available on mixture. Other Comments: This material may contain iron compound(s). Effects of overexposure to dusts can include irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, pneumoconiosis (dust congested lungs) pneumonitis (lung inflammation), coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and jaundice. Prolonged or repeated overexposure to fluoride compounds may cause fluorosis. Fluorosis is characterized by skeletal changes, consisting of osteosclerosis (hardening or abnormal density of bone) and osteomalacia (softening of bones) and by mottled discoloration of the enamel of teeth (if exposure occurs during enamel formation). Symptoms may include bone and joint pain and limited range of motion. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica, a component of the dust (if generated) from this product, may cause delayed lung injury called fibrosis (silicosis). Symptoms of exposure include cough and shortness of breath. Pre-Existing Medical Respiratory (asthma-like) and skin disorders. Conditions:
