EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE

ACUTE: Excessive contact with powder can cause drying of mucous membranes of nose,
eyes, and throat due to absorption of moisture and oils. This material can also cause nasal
irritation and nose bleeds. Eye contact with powder can result in mild irritation.
CHRONIC: An epidemiological study was conducted which included 165 precipitated
silica workers who had been exposed an average time span of 8.6 year. Of these 165 workers,
44 had been exposed for an average of 18 years. No adverse effects were noted in complete
medical examinations (including chest roentgenograms) of these workers. Pulmonary
function decrements were co-related only with smoking and age but not with the degree or
duration of dust exposures.
Laboratory studies have also been conducted in small animals via inhalation to levels of
precipitated silica dust of up to 128mg/cu.m per periods from six months to two years.
Although precipitated silica was temporarily deposited in the animals’ lungs, most of the
deposited material was cleared soon after the dust exposure ended.
The results of all studies performed by, or known to Wellink indicate a very low order of
pulmonary activity for synthetic precipitated silicas.
