4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
○ Inhalation: Inhalation of excessive amounts of dust may cause irritation of the
respiratory system; symptoms may include coughing and difficulty in
breathing.
○ Skin contact: May cause an allergic skin reaction. May cause skin irritation.
○ Eye contact: May cause eye irritation.
○ Chronic effects from long Substances known to be carcinogenic to man. May cause cancer by
term exposure: inhalation. Substances which cause concern for man owing to possible
carcinogenic effects but for which the available information is not
adequate for making a satisfactory assessment.
4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
○ Symptoms: None known.
