General Effects of Exposure
Acute Effects of Exposure: Exposure to silica, quartz can cause a very serious lung disease called silicosis with cough,
shortness of breath, and changes in chest x-ray. The earliest symptoms of silicosis may include: shortness of breath,
coughing, wheezing, fatigue, chest pain, loss of appetite and fever.
Chronic Exposure: Excessive exposure to airborne crystalline silica can cause fibrotic lung damage, with scarring of the
lungs with cough and shortness of breath. This is called "silicosis." This is generally a slowly developing fibrotic disease as
symptoms are usually delayed for 10 years or more. Symptoms are dyspnea, chest pain, breathlessness, and cough. The
chronic lung scarring developed from the silica dust causes a progressive massive fibrosis. The may lead to increase
susceptibility to tuberculosis.
Other Effects of Exposure: Prolonged inhalation (6 to 10 years) of iron oxide fume has been reported to produce changes
in lung x-rays of exposed individuals. The condition, siderosis, is considered to be a benign pneumoconiosis that exhibits
no adverse health effects. Siderosis has been observed among occupations such as arc-welders where iron oxide fumes
are present. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not been observed after prolonged exposure to iron oxide
pigments.

=============================== SECTION IV ?FIRST AID MEASURES ==============================
Eye Contact
In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use fingers to ensure that eyelids are separated
and that the eye is being irrigated. Call physician immediately.
Skin Contact
In case of skin contact, wash affected areas with soap and water. Immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion
Get medical attention.
============================ SECTION V ?FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES ==============================

Industrial Hygiene/ Ventilation Measures
General dilution and local exhaust as necessary to control airborne vapors, mists, dusts, and thermal decomposition
products below appropriate airborne concentration standards/ guidelines.
Respiratory Protection
The following respirator is recommended if airborne concentrations exceed the appropriate airborne concentration
standards/ guidelines: NIOSH approved, air-purifying particulate respirator with P-100 filters. When respirators are in use,
an OSHA compliant respirator program is requited (29 CFR 1910.134.) Airborne concentrations must not exceed the
respirator's Assigned Protection Factor multiplied by the appropriate standard/ guideline.
Hand Protection
Gloves
Eye Protection
Chemical safety goggles or safety glasses with side-shields.
Skin and Body Protection
Wear cloth work clothing including long pants and long-sleeved shirts.
Additional Protective Measures
Employees should wash their hands and face before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products. Educate and train
employees in the safe use and handling of this product. Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be available.
