Other hazards which do not result in classification
Handling and / or use of this material may generate a dust which can cause irritation to the respiratory tract and the eyes. Repeated exposure by inhalation to levels well above the occupational exposure limit may produce adverse effects on the bones (fluorosis). This may also occur following the repeated ingestion of small amounts. The absorption of fluoride can cause metabolic imbalances with irregular heartbeat, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and convulsions. In relation to the type of use you can generate airborne respirable crystalline silica. Prolonged and massive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause lung fibrosis, commonly known as silicosis. The main symptoms of silicosis include coughing and difficulty breathing. Exposure at work to respirable crystalline silica dust should be monitored and kept under control.
