EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSURE
• EYE - Avoid contact with eyes. Slightly to moderately irritating.
Abrasive action may cause damage to outer surface of eye.
• INHALATION - May cause respiratory tract irritation. Repeated or
prolonged breathing of particles of respirable size may cause
inflammation of the lung leading to chest pain, difficult breathing,
coughing and possible fibrotic change in the lung (Pneumoconiosis).
Pre-existing medical conditions may be aggravated by exposure:
specifically, bronchial hyper-reactivity and chronic bronchial or lung
disease.
• INGESTION - May cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms
may include irritation and nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
• SKIN - Slightly to moderate irritating. May cause irritation and
inflammation due to mechanical reaction to sharp, broken ends of
fibers.
