silica may be exceeded.
sUb causes
IARCMONOGRAPHVOLUME68, 1997 concludes that there is sufficient evidence that inhaled crystalline cancer in
humans. IARCclassification: Group I.
The NTP, in the Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens, 1991, ha$ added crystalline silica to its list of substances that are "reasonably
anticipated to be ~il'lftSemH.

FIRSTAID: EYES: Flush thoroughly with water for 10 to IS minutes. Contact phy$lcian if irritation persists.
BREATHING:If breathing difficulty develops, remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty persists, contaCt physician.
WARNING: IARCMonograph Volume 6f, 1991. comludes that 2,3,7,8-TCDD (a dioxin) is carcinogenic to humans.

SECTIONVI. R~CTlVITY DATA
STABILITY:Ball clay is stable under ordinary conditions. When exposed to high temperatures, free quartz can change crystal
structure to form tridymite (above 870掳 C.) or cristobalite (above 1470掳 C.) which have greater health hazards than quartz.

recommended PEL or TLY. Avoid Breathing Dust. Wear an approwd respirator. CAUDON: When water is applied, product
becomes slippery. ,
WASTE DISPOSALMETHOD: Follow federal. state and local regulations for solid waste disposal. Under RCRA(40 CFR Part 261)
ball day is not a hazardous waste.
COMMUNITY RIGHT10 KNOW: California's Proposition 6SIists crystalline silica as a carcinogen, and 2,3,7.aJ..TCDD(dioxin) as
known to cause cancer and reproductive toxicity.
OTHER PRECAUDONS: Product becomes slippery when wet. Follow good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands prior to
eating.
SEalON VIII. SPECIALPHOTEmON IJffORMAnON
VEfmUnON: Recommended method.
RESPIRATORY PROTEcnOl: If dust concentrations exceed recommended PEL or TLVfor short time durations, use NIOSH/MSHA
approved dust respirators. If spraying wet coatings, use NIOSHIMSHAdust/mist respirators.
rd鈥⑩?ogles
EYEPHOTEmON: Wear tight if high dust concentrations exist. NIOSH recommends that contact lenses not be
worn when working with crystalline silica.
SKIN PROTECTION:Wear gloves appropriately to the activity.

OTHER: I. Dust exposure levels in excess of appropriate PEL or should be reduced by feasible engineering and/or
administrative controls.
2. It is recommended that the employer obtain a copy of the ASTME 1132information package, "Standard Practice
for Health Requirements Relating to Occupational Exposure to Quartz Dust".
3. Government regulations require that exposed personnel receiYe apprvpriate training in safe work habits when
working with crystalline silica where the potential exists for exceeding the PEL or ny.

Minimize dust generation PEL Utilize aloves.
ACGIHrecommends periodic: physical examinations for those employees who are exposed to respinlble crystalline silica levels
greater than 50% of the TLVor PEL.
Trace amounts of dioxin conigers, including TeDD, have been detected in parts per trillion (ppt). These trace amounts are not
belieYed to he a health risk, but Special Protections and Special Precautions noted above are advised. Methods of transmission
may include inhalation, ingestion, or dennal absorption.
Bal. clay is not hazardous under DOT regulations.
Manufacturers who crush and grind ceramic bodies fired to high temperatures should recognize possible presence of tridymite
and/or cristobalite which have greater' health huards than quartz.
