KNOWN CARCINOGENS OR MUTAGENS - TYPE & DEFINITION

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) published its Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens which concludes

that "silica, crystalline (respirable)" may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen.  The NTP conclusion

is based on sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of respirable crystalline silica in ex-perimental animals

and limited evidence in humans.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA                                                                                                        

 

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:

 

SKIN:  Prolonged or repeated contact may cause skin irritation and/or result in skin sensitization or other

allergic response.

EYES:  Irritation and redness from direct eye contact.

BREATHING:  Dust emanating from the mixing process may be an irritant.  Prolonged exposure to

respirable crystalline quartz may cause delayed (chronic) lung injury (silicosis).

SWALLOWING:    Low  acute oral toxicity (LD 50 greater than 2,000 Mg/Kg for rats).

 

FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

 

SKIN:  Wash thoroughly with soap and water.  Launder clothing before re-use.

EYES:  Irrigate with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

BREATHING:  Remove to fresh air if effects occur.  Consult medical personnel.

SWALLOWING:  Induce vomiting if large amounts ingested.  Low toxicity, no specific antidote.

 

SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA                                                                                                               

 

STABILITY:  Stable.

INCOMPATABILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):  None

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:  None under normal conditions.

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:  May not occur.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:  When large quantities are mixed, high exotherm may result.

 

SECTION VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES                                                                                           

 

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:

Sweep up, bag, and re-use.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations in approved metal containers.

 

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION                                                                              

 

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SPECIFY TYPE):  During mixing, a NIOSH approved dust mask should be

worn; otherwise unnecessary.

EYE PROTECTION:  Safety glasses with side shields.

SKIN PROTECTION:  Rubber or polyethylene gloves.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:  Adequate clothing to prevent direct contact to skin.

PERSONAL HYGIENE:  Avoid creating and breathing dust.
