EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:  SYMPTOMS OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO THE DUST INCLUDE SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTION.  EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO SKIN AND EYES ESPECIALLY WHEN MIXED WITH WATER CAN CAUSE CAUSTIC BURNS AS SEVERE AS THIRD DEGREE.

ACUTE EXPOSURE:  PRODUCT BECOMES ALKALINE WHEN EXPOSED TO MOISTURE.  EXPOSURE CAN DRY THE SKIN, CAUSE ALKALI BURNS AND AFFECT THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES.  DUST CAN IRRITATE THE EYES AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.  TOXIC EFFECTS NOTED IN ANIMALS INCLUDE, FOR ACUTE EXPOSURES, ALVEOLAR DAMAGE WITH PULMONARY EDEMA.

CHRONIC EXPOSURE:  DUST CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION OF THE LINING TISSUE OF THE INTERIOR OF THE NOSE AND INFLAMMATION OF THE CORNEA.  HYPERSENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS MAY DEVELOP AN ALLERGIC DERMATITIS.  RESPIRABLE CYRSTALINE SILICA (QUARTZ) CAN CAUSE SILICOSIS, A FIBROSIS (SCARRING) OF THE LUNGS AND POSSIBLY CANCER.  THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE SILICA OR THE DISEASE SILICOSIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF SCLERODERMA, TUBERCULOSIS AND KIDNEY DISORDERS. 
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE

INDIVIDUALS WITH SENSITIVE SKIN AND WITH PULMONARY AND/OR RESPIRATORY DISEASE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO , ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS, OR SUBJECT TO EYE IRRITATION, SHOULD BE PRECLUDED FROM EXPOSURE.  EXPOSURE TO CRYSTALLINE SILICA OR THE DISEASE IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED INCIDENCE OF SCLERODERMA, TUBERCULOSIS AND POSSIBLY INCREASED INCIDENCE OF KIDNEY LESIONS. 
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

IRRIGATE (FLOOD) EYES IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY WITH CLEAN WATER. WASH EXPOSED SKIN AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER.  IF IRRITATION OR INFLAMMATION OCCURS SEEK PROMPT ATTENTION.  FOR GROSS INHALATION, REMOVE PERSON IMMEDIATELY T FRESH AIR, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION AS NEEDED.  GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
