EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: blue solid.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May cause cancer based on animal studies.
Target Organs: Lungs.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or
dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline quartz may cause
delayed lung injury/fibrosis (silicosis).
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
