SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
ROUTE OF ENTRY SKIN CONTACT: MECHANICAL IRRITATION IS POSSIBLE BUT UNLIKELY REFER TO ACUTE EFFECTS.
.
SKIN ABSORPTION: NONE
EYE CONTACT: DRIED CLAY DUST MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
INHALATION: MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS BY INHALATION OF DUST REFER TO CHRONIC
.
EFFECTS.
INGESTION: UNLIKELY TO BE TOXIC BY INGESTION.
SECTION VI TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES, CONTINUED....
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE DRYING AND REDDENING OF THE SKIN. MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
REPEATED MASSIVE APPLICATIONS IN OPEN WOUNDS MAY CAUSE GRANULOMA
FORMATION.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS OF TALC CAN
RESULT IN SCARRING OF THE LUNGS (PNEUMONCONIOSIS) OR OF THE COVERING OF
THE LUNGS (PLEURAL THICKENING).
OVEREXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST MAY CAUSE:
1/ SILICOSIS, A FORM OF PROGRESSIVE PULMONARY FIBROSIS.
2/ SCLERODERMA, AN IMMUNE SYSTEM DISORDER MANIFESTED BY A FIBROSIS OF
THE LUNGS, SKIN AND OTHER INTERNAL ORGANS.
SILICOSIS INCREASES THE RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS.
RECENT EVIDENCE SUGGESTS AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN RESPIRABLE EXPOSURE
AND A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF KIDNEY LESIONS.
CRYSTALLINE SILICA INHALED FROM OCCUPATIONAL SOURCES IS CLASSIFIED (IARC)
AS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.
0.1 mg./m3
EXPOSURE LIMITS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXPOSURE VALUES (TWAEV): SILICA, QUARTZ

TALC
IRRITANCY OF PRODUCT : REFER TO ROUTE OF ENTRY
SENSITIZATION OF PRODUCT: NO KNOWN EFFECTS
CARCINOGENICITY OF PRODUCT: REFER TO CHRONIC EFFECTS. THIS PRODUCT IS FORMULATED WITH BALL CLAY
CONTAINING TRACE AMOUNTS (A FEW PARTS PER TRILLION TO 3 PARTS PER BILLION) OF
2,3,7,8-TCDD (DIOXIN), A KNOWN (IARC) HUMAN CARCINOGEN. A RISK ASSESSMENT
COMMISSIONED BY THE KENTUCKY TENNESSEE CLAY COMPANY DETERMINED THAT
THERE IS NO RISK TO INDIVIDUALS HANDLING THE CLAY. INHALATION, INGESTION AND
DERMAL EXPOSURES WERE EXAMINED.
TERATOGENICITY OF PRODUCT: NO KNOWN EFFECTS
MUTAGENICITY OF PRODUCT: NO KNOWN EFFECTS
SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS: NONE KNOWN
SECTION VII PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED: AN APPROVED RESPIRATOR AND PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR SHOULD BE
WORN WHENEVER THE TOOLING, CRUSHING OR GRINDING OF DRIED
CLAY OBJECTS GIVES RISE TO RESPIRABLE DUST. INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO THE SKIN-DRYING EFFECTS OF CLAY
SHOULD WEAR PROTECTIVE LATEX GLOVES.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO BE USED: IF RESPIRABLE DUST IS RAISED, PROVISION SHOULD BE MADE FOR
ADEQUATE LOCAL EXHAUST WHEN FIRING, USE A DOWNDRAFT OR
.
OVERHEAD HOOD-TYPE EXHAUST SYSTEM
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF SPILL: NOT APPLICABLE
WASTE DISPOSAL: IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, PROVINCIAL AND FEDERAL LAWS. NOT
A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
HANDLING PROCEDURES: NONE REQUIRED.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: NONE
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION: NONE
SECTION VIII FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE EXPOSURE: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS.
SKIN EXPOSURE: WASH THOROUGHLY AND APPLY MOISTURIZING HANDCREAM TO DRIED, REDDENED SKIN.
INGESTION: UNLIKELY TO REQUIRE TREATMENT FOR MASSIVE INGESTION, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
.
INHALATION: NO SPECIFIC FIRST AID IS NECESSARY SINCE THE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH
EXPOSURE TO CRYSTALLINE SILICA RESULT FROM CHRONIC EXPOSURES.
