Acute Dose Effects Repeated Dose Effects
Burning flare can cause severe burns if in contact with body. Contents may cause moderate eye irritation or
burns. Skin contact with flare contents causes irritation and possible burns, especially if skin is wet or moist.
Ingestion of contents may cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Inhalation of
smoke or contents will cause irritation to the lungs and mucus membrane. Individuals with known allergies to
sulfide drugs may also have allergic reactions to elemental sulfur.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact
with contents may cause dermatitis.
Irritation
Contents irritating to the skin and eyes on contact. Inhalation
of contents or smoke from burning flare will cause irritation to
the lungs and mucus membrane.
Corrosivity Burning flare can cause severe burns
if in contact with body
Carcinogenicity Sawdust and Quartz Silica in Marble Dust and Burnt Umber
are known to be carcinogens by IARC, PROP 65, NTP and
ACGIH
Reproductive Effects No information found
Genetic Effects No information found Neurological Effects No information found
Developmental
Effects
PC only: Perchlorate exposure at certain levels can disrupt
the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with the iodide
uptake and thyroid hormone production. This interference
may lead to developmental defects. Scientists consider
pregnant women, children, infants, and individuals with
thyroid disorders to be the populations most at risk of harm
from being exposed to perchlorate.
Sensitization Individuals with known allergies to
sulfide drugs may also have allergic
reactions to elemental sulfur. Various
species of wood dust can elicit allergic
contact dermatitis in sensitized
individuals.
Target Organ
Effects
Eye, skin, kidney, lungs, and heart. PC only: Thyroid

13. Disposal Considerations
Flares should be allowed to burn to completion. Partially burned or unburned flares, spilled contents, and ash from burned flares should be disposed of in
accordance with federal, state, and local requirements. Consult factory for any additional disposal concerns. PC only: Refer to California Code of Regulations,
Title 33, Sections 67384.1-67384.10 for additional information on handling and disposal of potassium perchlorate containing materials.
