Potential health effects
Inhalation: Exposure may cause irritation, metal fume fever, difficulty breathing, bluish skin, and lung damage. Repeated or prolonged exposure may result in digestive disorders, wheezing, and cancer Skin Contact: Exposure may cause drying of the skin, burns, and irritant dermatitis accompanied by pruritus Eye Contact: Dust may cause irritation accompanied by redness, pain, burns, and swelling of the conjunctiva. Ingestion: Ingestion of this material may result in constipation, digestive disorders, and gastrointestinal irritation. Listed as a Carcinogen /Potential Carcinogen Yes No In the National Toxicology Program (NTP) report on carcinogens __X(a)__ ___ In the International Agency Report on Carcinogens (IARC) Monographs __X(a,b)__ ___ By the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) _______ __X_ (a) Silica (quartz and amorphous) may be included in the basalt rock. Quartz (as SiO2) is identified due to its hazardous nature and he material’s small particle size. NTP lists silica crystalline as a know carcinogen (respirabel size); IARC lists silica (quartz) as Group I (carcinogenic to humans) (b) IARC lists titanium dioxide as Group 2b (possibly carcinogenic to humans). 3.
