Section 2
Principle Routes of Exposure
Skin contact, eye contact, and inhalation EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
Potential health effects
Eye Hazards – Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed mechanical irritation of eyes. Traces of metals such as manganese & copper may be present which may cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat as well as metal fume fever if exposed to heat. Skin Hazards – Dust and glass fibers may produce dryness, itching, rash and redness. Frequent exposure may have a drying effect on skin. Absorption of boric acid into blood stream through damaged skin may result in erythema or macular rash. Ingestion Hazards – Not applicable under normal conditions of use. May result in internal discomfort or ill effects if large quantities are swallowed. Large doses of boric acid absorbed into blood may result in erythema, macular rash, diarrhea, dizziness, and CNS effects after 36-72 hours. Ingestion of 5 grams or more boric acid may irritate gastrointestinal system and affect central nervous system. Manganese may cause irritation of eyes, nose, and throat in mouth and metal fume fever. Advanced exposure symptoms may include weakness, sleepiness, nervousness, and lack of coordination, uncontrollable laughter, and aggressiveness. Inhalation hazards – Exposure to airborne dust generated during the handling or use of the product may cause irritation to nose, throat and upper respiratory system. Boric acid may be absorbed through mucous membranes. Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases may be aggravated. Prolonged inhalation of dust may cause lung disease such as silicosis due to the presence of free crystalline silica. Exposures to respirable crystalline silica have not been documented during normal use of this product. However, good housekeeping practices and industrial hygiene monitoring is recommended when the potential for significant exposure exists.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Because of irritating properties, dust and glass fibers may aggravate preexisting skin, eye, and respiratory conditions. Target Organs: Skin, eyes and respiratory system
