Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Eye Particles or dust is moderate eye irritant due to its abrasive action. Inhalation May be regarded as nuisance dust but can be irritating at high concentrations and may cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. The TLV (TWA) for occupational exposure nominates 10 mg/ m3 as total dust and 5 mg/ m3 as reparable dust. It is advised that local exhaust ventilation be provided to maintain dust concentrations below 8mg/ m3. Skin Non-hazardous. Ingestion There are no known hazards caused by accidental ingestion of small amount such as might occur during normal handling. Ingestion of larger quantities might cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal system as a result of abrasive action. Radiation Sillimanite contains trace (ppm level) amount of the naturally occurring radioactive substances such as Uranium & Thorium. However the concentration of the Uranium and Thorium are not sufficient for Sillimanite to be classified as a radioactive substance under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Regulation for the safe transport of radioactive material. ______________________________________________________________________________________
