Symptoms Related to the Physical, Chemical, and Toxicological Characteristics
Symptoms: No information available.
Delayed and Immediate Effects and also Chronic Effects from Short and Long Term Exposure
Sensitization: No information available.
Mutagenic Effects: No information available.
Carcinogenicity: The table below indicates whether each agency has listed any ingredient as a carcinogen.
The IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list asphalt as a carcinogen. In general, the oxidation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons destroys their carcinogenic potential. Petroleum asphalt,
shale oil asphalts, and coal tars show distinct variation in their relative carcinogenicity for
experimental animals. This product contains crystalline silica (quartz) in a non-respirable
form. Inhalation of crystalline silica is unlikely to occur from exposure to this product.
