Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Eye: Solid or dust is moderate eye irritant due to its abrasive action Inhalation: May be regarded as nuisance dust but can be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations and may cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. The TLV for ovvupational exposure nominate 10 mg/m3 as total dust and 5 mg/m3 as a respirable dust. Skin: Non Hazardous Ingestion: There are no known hazards caused by accidental ingestion of small amounts 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: Garnet contains trace (ppm level) amounts of the naturally occurring radioactive substance such as Uranium & Thorium. However the concentration of the Uranium & Thorium are not sufficient for garnet to be classified as a radioactive substance under the International Atomic Energy Agency Regulation for the safe transport of radioactive material.
