Prolonged and repeated contact may lead to dermatitis. + Skin Absorption: Not likely to be absorbed through the skin. + Bye Contact: This product may cause irritation due to abrasive action. tagestion: Ingestion of large doses can have cathartic (laxative) effects. Other Health Effects: Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed. strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential: Im general, tong-term exposure to high concentrations of dust may ceuse increased mucous Flow in the age and respiratory system airwaya. ‘This condition gewally disappears aztor exposure stops. Controversy exists as to the role exposure to dust has in the development of chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the air passages into the lungs). Other factors Such as smoking and genorsi sir pollution are nore important, bot dust exposure may contribute. (2) May cause asphyxlation, pneumoconiosis and staining. Wet dust reduces oxygen available for breathing. Aspaysia is. characterized by incroasod broathing volume, accelerated pulse Hate, muscular incoordination, faulty judgement, enoticnal instability, fatigue, nausea, voniting, bewilderment, gasping respiration and unconsciousness. Pneunacaniosis is the deposition of dust in the lungs and the tissue's regetion to its Presence. hen exposure to the dust is severe or prolonged, the lungs’ defenses are overwhelned’ 3.
