MSDS

Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica, quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (Group A2).
Breathing dust containing respirable crystalline silica may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent
lung damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may have the following serious chronic health effects: Excessive
inhalation of respirable dust can cause pneumoconiosis, a respiratory disease, which can result in delayed, progressive,
disabling and sometimes fatal lung injury. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest
illness and reduced pulmonary function. Smoking exacerbates this disease. Individuals with pneumoconiosis are
predisposed to develop tuberculosis. There is some evidence that breathing respirable crystalline silica or the disease
silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune
system disorder manifested by fibrosis of the lungs, skin and other internal organs) and kidney disease.
Primary Route(s) Of Entry: Skin Contact, Skin Absorption, Inhalation
Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Exposure: None known.
Carcinogenicity:
First Aid - Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes
until irritation subsides. Get medical attention immediately.
First Aid - Skin Contact: Remove and wash contaminated clothing. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid if symptoms persist.
First Aid - Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, leave the area to obtain fresh air. If
continued breathing difficulty is experienced, get medical attention immediately.
First Aid - Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Get medical attention immediately. Harmful or fatal if
liquid is aspirated into the lungs. If swallowed, drink 8-10 oz. of water, get immediate medical attention.
Note to Physician: None.
COMMENTS: If over-exposure occurs, call your poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: No special protective measures against fire required.
