**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
May cause cancer by inhalation.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline quartz may cause
delayed lung injury/fibrosis (silicosis). Cobalt compounds may cause
cancer based upon animal studies.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid. Gently lift eyelids and flush continuously with
water.
Skin:
Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Flush skin with
plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion:
Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Material will not burn. Use extinguishing media appropriate to the
surrounding fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a dry area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
