Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear
appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe dust. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding
the exposure limits. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary
use a dust suppressant agent which does not react with the product. Collect dust using a vacuum
cleaner. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer,
basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste
disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Avoid discharge into drains or water courses.
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Minimize
dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust. Do not get this material in contact with
eyes. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good
industrial hygiene practices.
Store in original tightly closed container. Store in dry location. Store away from incompatible
materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).

Appropriate engineering
controls
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Occupational exposure to nuisance dust (total and respirable) and respirable crystalline silica
should be monitored and controlled.
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any dusts or fumes
that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. If engineering measures are not
sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure Limit
(OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower
must be available when handling this product.

May cause cancer.
In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica
inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However in making the
overall evaluation, IARC noted that "carcinogenicity was not detected in all 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 its
polymorphs." (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to
humans, Silica, silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June
2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the
main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis. "There is
sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in persons with
silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in quarries and
in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer
risk..." (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art, worker
protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing regulatory
occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline
silica should be monitored and controlled.
