SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA EU Risk Phrases R36/38: Irritating to eyes and skin R42/43: May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact

Precautionary statements

S26: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice S36: Wear suitable protective clothing P273 Avoid release to the environment P280 Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection P305+351+ IF IN EYES: Rinse continuously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do – continue rinsing Hazardous chemicals may enter the body by: Inhalation Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion Chemical Exposure may effect the following organs: Kidneys Skin Acute Toxicity: Not Established Effects of Overexposure, BC-21A: Primary irritation, Allergic Sensitization, and irritation of the respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica may result in silicosis, a disabling pulmonary fibrosis characterized by fibrotic changes and miliary nodules in the lungs, a dry cough, shortness of breath, emphysema, decreased chest expansion, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. In advanced stages, loss of appetite, pleuritic pain, and total incapacity to work. Advanced silicosis may result in death due to cardiac failure or destruction of lung tissue. Crystalline silica is classified as group 1 "known to be carcinogenic to humans" by IARC and "sufficient evidence" of carcinogenicity by the NTP., The chronic health risks are associated with respirable particles of 3-4 um over protracted periods of time. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the mechanisms of quartz toxicity, including its mechanisms for lung carcinogenicity. Additional studies are needed to determine whether the cell transforming activity of quartz is related to its carcinogenic potential. Prolonged inhalation of dust may cause baritosis, a benign pneumoconiosis. If ingested, the presence of soluble barium salts as impurities may cause toxic reactions due to bioaccumulation., Damage to the lungs., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. Carcinogenicity: The following chemical(s) comprise 0.1% or more of this mixture and are listed and/or classified as carcinogins or potential carcinogins by NTP, IARC, OSHA or ACGIH: Conditions Aggravated: Not Established
