=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:UNKNOWN	  IARC:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXPOSURE TO ANY KIND OF DUST IS
    POTENTIALLY HARMFUL. AVOID INHALATION AND CONTACT WITH EYES AND
    SKIN. SKIN CONTACT: PROLONGED CONTACT MAY HAVE A DRYING EFFECT ON
    THE SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES. EYE CON TACT: MAY CAUSE DISCOMFORT
    AND MILD IRRITATION. INGESTION: SYNTHETIC AMORPHOUS SILICA IS NOT
    HARMFUL BY INGESTION. INHALATION: SYNTHETIC AMORPHOUS SILICA HAS
    LITTLE ADVERSE EFFECT ON LUNGS AND DOES NO T PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT
    DISEASE OR TOXIC EFFECT WHEN EXPOSURE IS KEPT UNDER REASONABLE
    CONTROL. EFFECTS OF DUST MAY BE GREATER, AND OCCUR AT LOWER LEVELS
    OF EXPOSURE, IN SMOKERS COMPARED TO NON-SMOKERS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACGIH AND IARC HAVE EVALUATED THE
    CARCINOGENIC RISKS OF SILICA AND CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE
    EVIDENCE FOR THE CARCINOGENICITY OF AMORPHOUS SILICA.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN CONTACT:  DRYING EFFECT ON  SKIN AND
    MUCOUS MEMBRANES. EYE CONTACT:  DISCOMFORT AND MILD IRRITATION. 
    INGESTION:	NOT HARMFUL BY INGESTION. INHALATION: LITTLE ADVERSE
    EFFECT ON LUNGS. EFFECTS OF  DUST MAY BE GREATER, AND OCCUR AT
    LOWER LEVELS OF EXPOSURE, IN SMOKERS COMPARED TO NON-SMOKERS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS (E.G.
    ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS) MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO DUST.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. REMOVE MATERIAL FROM
    MOUTH. DRINK 1 TO 2 GLASSES OF WATER (OR MILK). IF LARGE AMOUNT
    SWALLOWED OR SYMPTOMS DEVELOP OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION:
    REMOVE FROM  SOURCE OF EXPOSURE. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
    SYMPTOMS DEVELOP. SKIN: WASH ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE FROM SKIN. OBTAIN
    MEDICAL ATTENTION IF SYMPTOMS DEVELOP. EYES: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH
    COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF	WATER AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:NOT APPLICABLE. INORGANIC POWDER OR GRANULE. WILL
    NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NOT APPLICABLE. INORGANIC POWDER OR GRANULE.
    WILL NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT APPLICABLE. INORGANIC POWDER OR
    GRANULE. WILL NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CONTAIN SPILLAGE AND WHERE POSSIBLE DAMP WITH
    WATER SPRAY TO MINIMIZE DUST. TAKE PRECAUTION AGAINST EXCESSIVE
    DUST EXPOSURE (USE APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT),
    SHOVEL INTO BAGS OR SUITABL E CONTAINER.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:BAGS AND CONTAINERS SHOULD BE KEPT
    CLOSED AND IN A DRY PLACE. A  CONSIDERABLE STATIC ELECTRICITY
    CHARGE CAN BE BUILT UP DURING MECHANICAL HANDLING WHICH MAY BECOME
    A HAZARD IN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING FL AMMABLE VAPORS.
Other Precautions:USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AND/OR PERSONAL
    EQUIPMENT AS NECESSARY TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO AS LOW A LEVEL AS
    POSSIBLE AND IN ANY CASE BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS. AVOID INHALATION OF
    DUST.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:WEAR SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
    IF WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES WITH INADEQUATE VENTILATION OR
    WHENEVER THERE IS A RISK OF THE EXPOSURE LIMITS BEING EXCEEDED.
    ADVICE ON RESPIRATORY PROTEC TIVE EQUIPMENT IS GIVEN IN ASTM
    E1156-88 (REAPPROVED 1993) AND SPECIFIES STANDARD PRACTICE FOR
    HANDLING AMORPHOUS SILICA.
Ventilation:CONTAINMENT AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION AS NECESSARY TO
    PREVENT ANY EXPOSURE GREATER THAN THE RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR SUITABLE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:WEAR SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR SUITABLE OVERALLS.
Work Hygienic Practices:NO EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING IN THE
