3.2 Potential Health Effects

·         Immediate Hazards

INGESTION:   Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of

use.

INHALATION:  Not expected to be harmful under normal conditions of

use.  However, if allowed to become airborne, may cause

irritation of nose, throat and lungs.

SKIN:        May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.

EYES:        May cause irritation on prolonged or repeated contact.

·         Delayed Hazards

Limestone      1317-65-3

Can cause lung damage.  Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be

aggravated by exposure.

-- See Footnote C.

Calcite (Ca(CO3))     13397-26-7

aggravated by exposure.

-- See Footnote C.

Quartz (SiO2)     14808-60-7

CANCER HAZARD.  Can cause cancer.  Use of this product may

generate silica dust (which may be invisible).  Inhaled silica has

been classified by IARC as a human carcinogen.

Footnote C:  As of the date of issuance of this document, this

material has not been listed by NTP, classified by IARC nor regulated

by OSHA as a carcinogen.

4. First Aid Measures

INGESTION:   If accidentally swallowed, dilute by drinking large

quantities of water.  Immediately contact poison control

center or hospital emergency room for any other

additional treatment directions.

INHALATION:  Remove to fresh air.

SKIN:         In case of irritation, flush with water.

EYES:        Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water.  Call

a physician if irritation persists.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Autoignition Temperature            Not available

Upper/Lower Flammable Limits        Not applicable

Up/Lower Explosive Limits, % by Vol Not applicable

Flash Point                         Not applicable

Will not burn unless water has evaporated.  Dried material may

burn.

In case of fire, water should be used to keep fire-exposed

containers cool.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Sweep (scoop) up and remove to a chemical disposal area.  Prevent

entry into natural bodies of water.

7. Handling and Storage

7.1 Handling

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety

practices.  These practices include avoiding unnecessary exposure and

removal of the material from eyes, skin and clothing.

Wash thoroughly after handling.  Always use appropriate Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE).

INHALATION:  Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor.

SKIN:  Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and clothing.

EYES:  Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with eyes.

7.2 Storage

Keep from freezing.

Store in a cool, dry place.

Keep containers tightly closed.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1 Exposure Controls

If airborne contaminants are generated when the material is heated or

handled, sufficient ventilation in volume and air flow patterns should

be provided to keep air contaminant concentration levels below

acceptable criteria.

8.2 Personal Protection

Where air contaminants can exceed acceptable criteria, use NIOSH/MSHA

approved respiratory protection equipment.  Respirators should be

selected based on the form and concentration of contaminants in air

in accordance with OSHA laws and regulations or other applicable

standards or guidelines, including ANSI standards regarding

respiratory protection.  Use goggles if contact is likely.  Wear

impervious gloves as required to prevent skin contact.
