SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Limestone. Liquid. May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and
fatigue. May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further
overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry
Inhalation May cause nausea, headaches, and dizziness. May cause drowsiness, weakness, and
:
fatigue. May cause moderate irritation to the respiratory system.
Eyes Direct contact may cause mild irritation. Direct contact may cause temporary redness and
:
discomfort.
Ingestion May cause irritation to the mouth, throat and stomach. May cause gastrointestinal
:
irritation, nausea, and vomiting.
Skin May cause sensitization resulting in irritation, itching and redness.
:
Aggravated Medical Conditions
Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
Chronic Health Effects
May aggravate persons sensitized to amines. Prolonged and repeated overexposure to amines may cause liver
and kidney damage based on animal studies. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on
animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated
overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and
shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis may result from breathing free silica. Organosilane may
cause liver injury with fibrosis after repeated and prolonged overexposure. Fillers are encapsulated and not
expected to be released from product under normal conditions of use.
Target Organs: Skin, Eye, Ingestion, Liver, Kidney
