SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: Warning Statements: CAUTION! MAY CAUSE EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. ... Contains Plaster of Paris CAS# 26499-65-0 with less than 5% Quartz (Crystalline silica) CAS# 14808-60-7, Calcium carbonate CAS# 1317-65-3, Clay CAS# 12174-11-7/ 8031-18-3, Cellulose CAS# 65996-61-4 and Styrene polymer CAS# 9003-53-6. Grey, charcoal and black products also contain Carbon black CAS# 1333-86-4. ... May be irritating if inhaled resulting in coughing and sneezing. ... Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable Crystalline silica and Carbon black can decrease lung function and create risk of lung disease (i.e., silicosis and/or lung cancer). ... May cause minor mechanical irritation to eyes. Direct contact with spray can damage eyes. ... Wet material falling on floors, stairs, or other surfaces will cause these surfaces to become slippery. ... Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Content; 0.0 grms/l EPA-24 (Below Detectable Limit). ... Read and understand all Health and Safety information on the product Label and Material Safety Data Sheet before use. NPCA-HMIS Hazard Index: o Health: 1 * o Flammability: 0 o Reactivity: 0 o Personal Protection: B,E (See Section 8) Potential Health Effects Routes of Exposure: Inhalation: Exposure to excessive airborne dust may cause coughing, sneezing and dyspnea (shortness of breath, labored breathing). Exposure may also aggravate chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchitis. Long-term inhalation of dust may increase the risk of contracting pneumoconiosis ("dusty lungs") and may also decrease lung function. Prolonged and repeated exposure to respirable silica and Carbon black can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis and/or lung cancer). SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont'd) Skin and Eye: EYE contact with dust may cause minor mechanical irritation. Direct eye contact with MONOKOTE may cause physical injury. Prolonged or repeated SKIN contact may dry skin. Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful. Carcinogenicity Information: Crystalline silica has been classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 1) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has concluded that respirable Crystalline silica is “reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen” (N2) based on sufficient animal and limited human data. The substance is also recognized by OSHA as a carcinogen. Carbon black is listed by IARC as a known animal carcinogen and possible human carcinogen, (Group 2B) based on rat inhalation studies.
