REPEATED SKIN EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS (DRY, RED SKIN). DIRECT EYE
CONTACT WITH THESE PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE STINGING, ABRASIONS, AND REDNESS.
DUST CAN CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION TO THE EYE. REPEATED CONTACT OF
DUST WITH THE EYES CAN CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS A DISEASE THAT MAY CAUSE
EYES TO BECOME PINK AND SORE), OR CAN CAUSE DISCOLORATION OF THE EYES.
SKIN ABSORPTION: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT POSE A HAZARD OF SKIN ABSORPTION.
INGESTION:
INGESTION IS AN UNLIKELY ROUTE OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT.
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT DUSTS FROM THE PRODUCT ARE INGESTED NAUSEA,
VOMITING, AND DIARRHEA MAY RESULT.
REPEATED INGESTION OF IRON COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE VOMITING, DIARRHEA, PINK
URINE, BLACK STOOL, AND LIVER OR KIDNEY DAMAGE. REPEATED INGESTION OF
IRON COMPOUNDS CAN ALSO CAUSE SIDEROSIS, WHICH IS AN ACCUMULATION OF

CHRONIC:
REPEATED INHALATION EXPOSURE OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA ABOVE SAFE LEVELS MAY
CAUSE ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. CHRONIC INHALATION MAY
RESULT IN PULMONARY FIBROSIS. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CRYSTALLINE SILICA,
WHICH IS A KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
SECTION 11 NOTES:
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) CLASSIFIED (QUARTZ)
CRYSTALLINE SILICA (CS) AS A PROBABLE CARCINOGEN AND IN 1997 RECLASSIFIED
IT AS A GROUP 1 CARCINOGEN, I.E., THAT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR
CARCINOGENICITY IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS AND SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR
CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS. IN ITS NINTH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS, THE
NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP) LISTED CRYSTALLINE SILICA AS A KNOWN
HUMAN CARCINOGEN, BASED ON SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY FROM
STUDIES IN HUMANS INDICATING A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO
RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA AND INCREASED LUNG CANCER RATES IN WORKERS
EXPOSED TO CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH
ON CANCER (IARC) HAS EVALUATED CRYSTALLINE SILICA AND DETERMINED THAT
"CRYSTALLINE SILICA INHALED IN THE FORM OF QUARTZ OR CRISTOBALITE FROM
OCCUPATIONAL SOURCES IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 1)."
