EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Not available.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Skin:
Dust may cause mechanical
irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the
digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the
respiratory tract. Contains crystalline
silica which may lead to
respiratory abnormalities and silicosis.
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
soap and water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if

Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If
victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get
medical aid.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid
immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult,
give oxygen.
