SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance/Odor
Dark mat with asphalt odor Under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to create any unusual emer- gency hazards. In the event of fre, use normal fre fghting procedures to prevent inhalation of smoke and gases.
Potential health effects
Summary Summary: The primary hazard of this product is nuisance dust. However due to the large size of the particles, little exposure to airborne dust is expected. The petroleum asphalt fumes may cause respiratory irritation. Acute (Short Term) Health Efects: Product dusts may mechanically irritate skin, eyes, and upper respiratory system by physically acting on those organs; no chemical irritation is expected. Irritation should be temporary.
Long term hazards
Health Efects This product contains crystalline silica (CS), talc, and asphalt. CS and talc are hazardous when inhaled, however inhalation of dust from this product is not likely to occur due to the product’s intended use and form. When breathed over long periods of time, CS can cause silicosis and talc can cause pulmonary fbrosis; both are non-cancerous scarring of lung tissue that over many years to decades can make breath- ing increasingly more difcult. Asphalt fumes, which can be released from heated asphalt, may cause sleepiness, headache, sickness to stomach, and irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
