SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
First-aid measures general
:
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect
themselves.
First-aid measures after inhalation
:
Move the affected person away from the contaminated area and remove to fresh air. If breathing
problems occur, a certified professional should administer oxygen or CPR if indicated. Seek immediate
medical attention.
First-aid measures after skin contact
:
Remove affected clothing and wash all exposed skin area with mild soap and water, followed by warm
water rinse.
First-aid measures after eye contact
:
Immediately rinse with water for a prolonged period while holding the eyelids wide open. If eye irritation
or pain persists: Get medical advice/attention.
First-aid measures after ingestion
:
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice in case of persistent discomfort. Never
give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Symptoms/injuries
:
There are potential chronic health effects to consider.
Symptoms/injuries after inhalation
:
May cause cancer by inhalation. Long-term dust, mist, or spray exposure may aggravate pre-existing
respiratory disease. Persons who develop silicosis have greatly increased risks of developing
tuberculosis and workers who are exposed to crystalline silica and smoke have increased risks of lung
damage.
Symptoms/injuries after skin contact
:
Direst contact may cause irritation, rash, or dry skin. Rubbing may intensify symptoms and create
abrasions.
Symptoms/injuries after eye contact
:
Particulate matter may scratch the cornea or cause other mechanical injury to the eye. Scratching or
physical damage to the eyes can cause irritation, redness, pain, tear formation, blurred vision, and light
sensitivity.
Symptoms/injuries after ingestion
:
Not expected to be a significant route of entry. If ingestion occurs, mild temporary stomach discomfort
may result.
Chronic symptoms
:
Repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica over a number of years can cause lung disease
(silicosis) and increase the risks of developing respiratory cancer. Silicosis is a progressive fibrotic
pneumoconiosis which greatly decreases the ability of the lungs to provide oxygen (decreased pulmonary
capacity). The disease may progress even if the worker is removed from exposure. The extent and
severity of lung injury depends on a variety of factors including particle size, percentage of silica, natural
