POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE CONTACT: Causes eye irritation upon direct contact, but no permanent eye injury is expected.
SKIN CONTACT: May cause skin irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.
INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed in large quantities.
INHALATION: Overexposure to dust may cause respiratory irritation.
CHRONIC: This product contains a small amount of crystalline silica, a naturally occurring impurity in calcium carbonate. NTP
has listed crystalline silica as a known human carcinogen based on increased lung cancer rates in workers
exposed to respirable-size (breathable) crystalline silica, primarily quartz and crystabolite, that are generated
during sandblasting or similar activities in an occupational setting. IARC has determined that crystalline silica
inhaled in the form of quartz or crystabolite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans. However, no
significant health risk to employees is expected during product manufacturing or occupational use.
