HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
Inhalation : Calcium Silicate dust can cause temporary irritation of the nose,
throat and upper respiratory tract.
Skin Contact : Possible irritation from overexposure to dust.
Eye Contact : Transient mechanical irritation.
Ingestion : Not expected to be an important route of entry into the body.
Ingestion of large amounts of the product may cause irritation of the mouth,
esophagus and stomach.
EFFECTS OF LONG TERM (CHRONIC) EXPOSURE:
Long-term exposure to respirable fine dust is a known cause of bronchitis, a
non-cancerous lung disease.
OTHER IMPORTANT HAZARDS:
Refer section 11
SECTION 4
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat and blow nose
to evacuate dust. Seek medical attention if irritation and breathing
difficulties persist.
Skin contact : Wash with mild soap and water. Seek medical attention
should irritation persist.
Eye contact : Flush with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention should irritation persist.
Ingestion: Non-hazardous when ingested. Potentially a mild irritation to the
GI tract if excessive quantity is ingested.
