SKIN CONTACT: May cause irritation.
EYE CONTACT: Dust may cause mechanical irritation, redness, pain, and corneal damage if not
flushed out promptly. May cause irritation.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Chronic, long term exposure (10 years - 30 years), may result in pulmonary
fibrosis (silicosis). Aggravates bronchitis, asthma and emphysema.
CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Bronchitis, Emphysema and Asthma.
Smoking is known to aggravate the effects of exposure. Persons with silicosis may develop
tuberculosis. Exposure to crystalline silica may also result in scleroderma and/or kidney disease. Skin
contact my aggravate an existing dermatitis.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION FIRST AID: If a respiratory problem develops from dust. Remove victim to fresh air and
provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Get medical attention. If the victim has difficulty breathing or
tightness of the chest, is dizzy, vomiting or unresponsive, give 100% oxygen with rescue breathing
or CPR as required and transport to the nearest medical facility. Normally all that is required will be
to bring victim to fresh clean air.
SKIN CONTACT FIRST AID: Wash with water.
EYE CONTACT FIRST AID:
If dust comes into contact with eyes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION FIRST AID: First aid procedures not normally required.
STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT: Always have plenty of water available for first aid. Get
medical attention if any symptoms develop or persist.
