Emergency Overview

No unusual conditions are expected from this product. Inhalation of dusts produced during dry cutting, sawing,

grinding, sanding, breaking, or drilling of this product may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.

Potential Health Effects: Eyes

Dust from this product may cause slight irritation to the eyes including redness, tearing and blurred vision. Such

exposures require immediate first aid (see Section 4) and may require medical attention to prevent damage to the

eye.

Potential Health Effects: Skin

Dust from this product may cause itching and short-term irritation.

Potential Health Effects: Ingestion

Ingestion of this product is unlikely. However, ingestion of product may produce gastrointestinal irritation and

disturbances.

Potential Health Effects: Inhalation

Exposure to dust generated from Precast Stone Veneer in excess of the applicable TLV or PEL’s (see Section 2)

may cause or aggravate other lung conditions. Concrete Precast Stone Veneer contain mineral dust and

crystalline silica which may be released as dust when dry cutting, sawing, grinding, sanding, breaking or drilling.

Dusts of this product may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract by mechanical abrasion.

Prolonged and repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a chronic lung disease

characterized by fibrosis and scarring of the lung tissue resulting in a decrease in lung function, breathlessness,

wheezing, coughing and sputum production.

Short-term overexposures to extremely high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica can produce acute

silicosis. Acute silicosis is a rapidly progressive, incurable lung disease that can be fatal; over exposure has

reportedly caused death within 1 to 2 years. Symptoms include (but are not limited to) shortness of breath, cough,

fever, weight loss, and chest pain.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure

Chronic respiratory or skin conditions may temporarily worsen from exposure to dust from this product. Precast

stone veneer is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It contains crystalline silica, and may contain

trace amounts of substances listed as carcinogens by these organizations: hexavalent chromium, lead

compounds, mercury compounds, nickel compounds, arsenic, cadmium and cadmium compounds, cobalt II

oxide, aniline, and possibility other chemicals which may result in exposures which require the following warning

pursuant to California Proposition 65.

Material Safety Data Sheet Material Name: Precast Stone Veneer * * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * * Exposure Guidelines A: General Product Information Concrete stone veneer contains mineral dust and crystalline silica, which may be released as dust when dry cutting, sawing, grinding, sanding, or drilling. Follow all applicable exposure limits if dusts are generated.
PAGE 4
Material Safety Data Sheet Material Name: Precast Stone Veneer Other Control Measures: Respirable dust and quartz levels should be monitored regularly. Dust and quartz levels in excess of appropriate exposure limits should be reduced by feasible engineering controls, including (but not limited to) wet sanding, wet suppression, ventilation, and process enclosures. Respirators must be worn when such controls are not feasible or do not completely control dust generation.
