5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire situation.
Hazards From Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, traces of hydrogen
cyanide.
Precautions for Fire Fighters and Special Protective Equipment: Fire fighters to wear Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) in confined spaces, in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full
protective clothing is also recommended.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects are expected, if the product is handled in accordance with this Material Safety Data Sheet and
the product label. Symptoms and effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
Swallowed:
May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach with effects including pains in the stomach, which may lead to
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Eye:
Will cause severe irritation to the eyes with effects including: tearing, pain, corneal opacity and blurred vision. If
prompt action is not taken permanent eye damage may occur.
Skin:
Will cause irritation to the skin, with effects including; Redness, itchiness, and drying/defatting.
Inhaled:
Very toxic if inhaled. Dusts will cause irritation to the respiratory system, inhalation of this product will lead to
sensitisation by inhalation.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure may lead to cancer.
Prolonged or repeated contact with this substance will cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Crystalline Silica - Quartz:
Exposure to respirable crystalline silica may cause delayed (chronic) lung disease known as silicosis; Acute or rapidly
developing silicosis may occur in a period of time in heavy exposure in certain occupations such as sandblasting,
quarrying or mining. The onset may increase with heavy smoking or poor hygiene.
The International Agency for the Research of Cancer (IARC) enabled a Working Group who reported that there is
sufficient evidence for the classification of crystalline silica as a Confirmed Human Carcinogen (Group I) (IARC,
1997,V.68).
In line with the IARC decision, Worksafe Australia has attempted to classify ALL forms of crystalline silica as
CONFIRMED HUMAN CARCINOGEN (CATEGORY 1). Established human carcinogens are those substances
known to be carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient evidence to establish a casual association between human
exposure to these substances and the development of cancer.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
