SECTION 2: Hazards identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: WARNING! This product contains crystalline silica. Crystalline silica can cause lung injury and is known as a cancer hazard. Long-term exposure can cause silicosis. Silicosis is a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, disabling and sometimes-fatal lung injury. Risk of injury is dependent on the duration and level of exposure. A single exposure will not result in serious adverse effects. This product also contains Portland cement. When in contact with moisture in eyes or on skin, or when mixed with water, Portland cement becomes highly caustic (pH>12) and will damage or burn the eyes or skin. Inhalation may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat and upper respiratory system or may cause or may aggravate certain lung diseases or conditions. DO NOT BREATHE DUST! Avoid creating dust when handling, using, or storing. Use only with adequate ventilation to keep exposure below recommended exposure limits. KEEP FROM CHILDREN!

Principle Routes of Exposure

Eye, Skin, Ingestion, Inhalation

Potential health effects

Inhalation: Chronic exposure to crystalline silica can cause the following: a. Silicosis: a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. b. Lung cancer: Crystalline silica (quartz) inhaled from occupational sources is classified as carcinogenic to humans. c. Tuberculosis: Silicosis increases the risk of tuberculosis. d. Autoimmune and Chronic Kidney Diseases. e. Non-Malignant Respiratory Diseases. Eye Contact: May cause abrasion of the cornea, and or mechanical irritation of the eye. Skin Contact: Wet compound can dry the skin and cause caustic burns. May cause an allergic reaction. Ingestion: No adverse effects expected for incidental ingestion. Signs/Symptoms: When wet this product is alkali. Excessive and prolonged exposure to the skin can cause severe irritation, burns and permanent tissue damage.
