Signal word
DANGER HAZARDS OVERVIEW: Crushed limestone in its solid form does not present a health hazard under normal use and conditions. However, dust formed from the use of limestone may release the components noted in Section 3 as airborne particulates, posing an inhalation hazard. Dust may cause irritation to eyes and/or respiratory system so avoid breathing excessive dust. Long-term overexposure to respirable crystalline silica in the workplace may cause lung damage and silicosis. Crystalline silica is listed as a Group 1 carcinogen (carcinogenic to humans) by the IARC and NTP.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation ADDITIONAL ROUTE(S) OF EXPOSURE: Skin and/or eye contact EYE CONTACT: Nuisance dust SKIN CONTACT: Skin irritant SKIN ABSORPTION: Non-hazardous INGESTION: May cause temporary irritation INHALATION: Dust generated during handling and use may contain respirable crystalline silica (quartz). Prolonged inhalation to respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis. Occupational exposure to respirable dust in general and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored. See Section 8 for exposure thresholds.
