SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Medical Condition Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Pre-existing asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other lung and respiratory ailments may be aggravated by exposure to dust.

Skin Contact: No adverse effects expected

Eye Contact: Contact may cause mechanical irritation and possible injury

Ingestion: No adverse effects expected with unused material

• Inhalation: Inhalation of excessive concentrations of dust may cause irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.

• Inhalation of excessive concentrations of any dust, including this material, may lead to lung injury. This product contains crystalline silica. Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a progressive, disabling and fatal disease of the lung. Symptoms may include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and reduced pulmonary function. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in Monograph 68 has concluded that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite, from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). However, in making the overall evaluation, the Working Group noted that carcinogenicity was not detected in all MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET St. Gabriel Laboratories 14044 Litchfield Drive Orange, Virginia 22960 Telephone: 800-801-0061 MSDS: U.S.D.A.

• SECTION 5: HEALTH HAZARD DATA (Continued)
• industrial circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of it polymorphs. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies crystalline silica as reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen. Because applications and exposure data indicate that exposure to respirable quartz in this product with normal use is well below the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and ACAGIH media data available indicating that exposure to dust from this product under conditions of normal use will cause silicosis or cancer; adverse effects would not be expected from normal use of this product.

• Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.

• Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with cool running water, lifting upper and lower lids. If irritation persists or for foreign body in the eye, get immediate medical attention.

SECTION 6: REACTIVITY DATA

Stability: Inert

• Incompatibility: Contact of dry clay with turpentine, vegetable oil or other unsaturated organic compounds, or with hydrofluoric acid may generate heat and/or fire. Do not use with these compounds.

Hazardous polymerization: None

SECTION 7: SPILLAGE OR LEAK PROCEDURES

• Spillage: Sweep up and collect for re-use or disposal.
• Waste Disposal Method: Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal environmental regulations. Unused material is suitable for disposal in sanitary landfill.

• Respiratory Protection: For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded, a NIOSH/MSHA approved high efficiency particulate respirator is recommended.
• Ventilation: For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded, local exhaust ventilation is recommended.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles recommended.

Other Protective Equipment: Not required

SECTION 9: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

• Handling & Storage: Avoid breathing dust. Store in a dry area.
• Work/Hygienic Practices: Avoid vigorous shaking of bags. If clothing becomes dusty, launder before re-use. Wash hands before taking food.
