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.
