Certain people may develop allergic dermatitis from continuous exposure.
INGESTION: Can cause irritation to throat.
CHRONIC: The sand used in this product contains quartz. Quartz (Crystalline Silica) that exists as particles with an
aerodynamic diameter less than 5 Microns is hazardous. Although this product does not contain these fine particles a dust
mask should be worn when handling product in the dry state.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT: Maximum TWA of silica (for particles 5 Micron and smaller) is 0.1 mg. per M3 of
air. For further information of the designated substance "Silica" contact the Ministry of Labour (Occupational Health and
Safety Division)in your region.
SECTION 5 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eye(s) with lukewarm water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists see physician. Hold eyes open.
