TLV
and PEL limits are for respirable dust.
SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: This product contains crystalline silica which
is considered a hazard by inhalation.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica as being carcinogenic to humans (Class 1). This classification is based on what IARC
considered sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies of humans for the
carcinogenicity of inhaled silica in the forms of quartz and cristobalite. Crystalline silica is also known to cause
Silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease.
HMIS Rating: Health: 1* Fire: 0 Physical Hazard: 0 PPE: E
WHMIS Class: D-2A - Material causing other toxic
effects (VERY TOXIC - Chronic)
Primary Routes of
Entry: Via respirable dust to the
lungs and respiratory system and via coarse dust and particulate to the eyes.
Primary Target
Organs: Lungs, respiratory system
and eyes.
Potential Health
Effects:
Inhalation: Long term overexposure to respirable
crystalline silica dust may cause permanent and irreversible lung damage
including silicosis.
Skin Contact: Possible dryness or irritation resulting
from long term exposures to product dust.
Eye Contact: A mechanical irritant which can cause
moderate to severe eye irritation.
SECTION III - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Potential Health
Effects:
Ingestion: Non-hazardous when ingested.
Potentially a mild irritant to the GI tract if excessive quantity is
ingested.
Medical
Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Pre-existing chronic upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but
not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
Carcinogenicity: This product contains crystalline silica
which is classified as a class 1, human carcinogen by IARC, as a suspect
carcinogen by NTP and as a possible select carcinogen by OSHA.
SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat and blow nose to
evacuate dust. If coughing and
irritation develop, call a physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water until
irritation subsides, as least 15 minutes.
See a physician if irritation persists.
Skin
Contact: Normal good personal
hygiene practices. Wash with mild soap
and warm water after each exposure.
Ingestion: Emergency procedures not normally required. May be a temporary irritant to the GI
system.
SECTION V - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
NFPA Rating: Health: 0 Fire: 0 Reactivity: 0 Other: 0
Flashpoint and Method: This is a non-flammable product LEL: N/Ap UEL: N/Ap
Extinguishing
Method Not applicable. Product will not burn.
Special
Firefighting Procedures: Not
applicable.
Fire or explosion Hazards: None
SECTION VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean-up
Procedures: Pick up or shovel
material into waste container taking care to minimize dust. Wet down if necessary to control dust. Vacuum clean dust with equipment fitted with
HEPA filter
Personal
Precautions: If dusty conditions
exist, wear a face mask approved for use with dusts such as 3M 8511 N-95 or
equivalent.
Environmental Precautions: None normally required.
SECTION VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage
Requirements: Store in dry
area. Always segregate materials by
major hazard class.
Special
Sensitivity or Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong acids.
Handling Precautions: Assure proper respiratory protection if dust
potential exceeds PEL/TLV.
SECTION VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory
Protection: When over PEL/TLV wear
an approved face mask such as 3M 8511 N-95 or equivalent, to protect against
silica and pneumoconiosis producing dust.
Concentrations of dust that exceed the recommendations of the dust mask
manufacturer will need a higher level of respiratory protection, such as a half
mask respirator with appropriate dust filters.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields,
goggles or face shield when cutting, milling or abrading to protect eyes
against dust and particulate.
Skin Protection: Under normal conditions the wearing of
protective gloves and clean, body-covering clothing should be adequate.
Engineering Controls: Maintain sufficient mechanical or natural
ventilation to assure dust concentrations remain below PEL/TLV. Use local exhaust if necessary. Power equipment should be equipped with
properly designed dust collection devices.
