Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Potential Health Hazards (powder mixture).
May cause skin and eye irritation. May cause irritation of the upper
respiratory tract (nose, mouth and/or throat), resulting in sneezing
coughing and sore throat. Long-term respiratory exposure exceeding
exposure limits may damage the lungs, leading to impairment of lung

capacity.
The acute and chronic health effect statements below are for the pure
chemicals only, unless noted.
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
(CARBON BLACK)
May be irritating to the eye & cause conjunctivitis. Prolonged or
repeated skin contact may cause irritation.
(BARIUM SULFATE)
Inhalation of dusts containing barium sulfate may be irritating to the
respiratory tract. Contact with the eyes may also cause irritation.
In 1994, US EPA deleted barium sulfate from the category "barium
compounds" on the list of toxic chemicals for which reporting is
required. The final rule is in 40 CFR Part 372.
(TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
INGESTION: Low oral toxicity. No toxic effects due to ingestion are
described in literature. INHALATION: Irritating to upper respiratory
tract. EYE CONTACT: Irritating.
(ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE)
Dust exposure causes eye irritation; basic eye burns are possible
depending upon the duration of contact. This material is reported to
exhibit a low order of toxicity via inhalation & ingestion. Prolonged
skin contact may result in minor mechanical irritation.
(SILICA, AMORPHOUS)
Contact with dust may include eye irritation (discomfort, tearing or
blurring of vision) or slight skin irritation (discomfort or rash).
Overexposure to dust by inhalation may cause temporary lung irritation
(cough, discomfort or difficulty in breathing).
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS:
(CARBON BLACK)
In 1978, NIOSH concluded that "carbon black may cause adverse pulmonar
& heart changes" & "may pose a cancer risk" due to absorbed polycyclic
hydro-carbons. Studies have not shown a significantly increased
circulatory malignant or respiratory morbidity among carbon black
workers in the U.S. Prop 65 "This chemical is known to the state of
California to cause cancer"
(BARIUM SULFATE)
Prolonged exposure could cause benign pneumoconiosis called Baritosis.
(TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
Laboratory studies show that inhalation exposure to high levels (250
mg/kg) of Titanium Dioxide causes cancerous tumors in rats. This

response occurs at lower exposure levels and may be due to the high
levels overwhelming normal lung clearance mechanisms. The relevance
of this data to humans is not significant where the TLV is observed.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY OVEREXPOSURE:
(SILICA, AMORPHOUS)
Preexisting lung diseases may increase susceptability to the effects
of excessive amorphous silica dust exposure.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Inhalation, Dermal, or Ingestion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
EYE CONTACT
Flush eyes with cool water for 15 minutes, occasionally lifting lids
to ensure thorough rinsing. Seek medical assistance.
SKIN CONTACT
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
INHALATION
Remove from area to fresh air.
INGESTION
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a
physician.
