Section 3 - Hazards Identification, Including Emergency Overview
Health Hazards Acute & Chronic: ACUTE:EXCESS CONT W/POWDER CAN CAUSE DRYING OF MUC MEMB OF NOSE, EYES, & THROAT DUE TO ABSORP OF MOISTURE & OILS. MATL CAN ALSO CAUSE NASAL IRRIT & NOSEBLEEDS. EYE CONT W/POWDER CAN RSLT IN MILD IRRIT . CHRONIC:EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WHICH INCL 165 PRECIPITATED SILICA WORKERS WHO HAD BEEN (EFTS OF OVEREXP)

Signs & Symptoms of Overexposure:
HLTH HAZ:EXPOSED AN AVERAGE TIME SPAN OF 8.6 YRS. OF THESE 165 WORKERS, 44 HAD BEEN EXPOS FOR AVERAGE OF 18 YRS. NO ADVERSE EFTS WERE NOTED IN COMPLETE MED EXAMINATIONS (INCL CHEST ROENTGENOGRAMS) OF THESE WORKERS. PULM FUNC DECREMENTS WERE CORRELATED ONLY W/SMKNG & AGE BUT NOT W/DEGREE/DURATION OF DUST EXPOS. (SUPDAT)

OSHA: NO
Carcinogenicity Explanation: NOT RELEVANT.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid:
INGEST:CALL MD IMMEDIATELY (FP N). INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF IRRIT OR DISCOMFORT PERSISTS, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN. EYE OR SKIN CONTACT:IF POWDER ENTERS EYES, FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 1 5 MINUTES. IF IRRIT/DISCOMFORT OCCURS, CONSULT PHYSICIAN. NOTES TO PHYS (INCLUDING ANTIDOTES): TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
