Overexposure to amorphous silica has been associated with causing irritation of the lungs and pneumoconio- sis. Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated with producing tumors in laboratory animals.

Reactivity Data

Stability: Stable

Polymerization: Will not occur.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decom- position may result in release of oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

Temperature: Do not expose to temperatures above 200° C (392° F).

Incompatibility: Avoid exposure to strong oxidizers.

Spill Cleanup and Disposal

Spill Cleanup

Small Spills

1.Remove sources of ignition.

44

2.Clean up spill with wet cloth. Large Spills

1.Remove sources of ignition.

2.Wear protective gear: respirator, rubber gloves, goggles (see below)

3.Clean up spill with scoop, being careful not to generate a lot of dust.

Waste Disposal: Follow appropriate federal, state and local regulations.

Safe Handling and Use

Respiratory Protection: Not normally required. For large spills, use NIOSH-approved full face-piece respirator with HEPA cartridge during cleanup.

Protective Gloves and/or Eye Protection: Not normally required. For large spills, use rubber gloves and chemical worker’s goggles during cleanup.

Ventilation: Outside of normal ventilation, not normally required.
