measures
General
advice
Consult
a
physician.
Show
this
safety
data
sheet
to
the
doctor
in
attendance.
If
inhaled
If
breathed
in,
move
person
into
fresh
air.
If
not
breathing,
give
artificial
respiration.
Consult
a
physician.
In
case
of
skin
contact
Wash
off
with
soap
and
plenty
of
water.
Consult
a
physician.
In
case
of
eye
contact
Flush
eyes
with
water
as
a
precaution.
If
swallowed
Never
give
anything
by

to
an
unconscious
person.
Rinse

Consult
a
physician.
Most
important
symptoms
and
effects,
both
acute
and
delayed
Prolonged
inhalation
of
crystalline
silica
may
result
in
silicosis,
a
disabling
pulmonary
fibrosis
characterized
by
fibrotic
changes
and
miliary
nodules
in
the
lungs,
a
dry
cough,
shortness
of
breath,
emphysema,
decreased
chest
expansion,
and
increased
susceptibility
to
tuberculosis.
In
advanced
stages,
loss
of
appetite,
pleuritic
pain,
and
total
incapacity
to
work.
Advanced
silicosis
may
result
in
death
due
to
cardiac
failure
or
destruction
of
lung
tissue.
Crystalline
silica
is
classified
as
group
1
"known
to
be
carcinogenic
to
humans"
by
IARC
and
"sufficient
evidence"
of
carcinogenicity
by
the
NTP.,
The
chronic
health
risks
are
associated
with
respirable
particles
of
3-4
um
over
protracted
periods
of
time.
Currently,
there
is
a
limited
understanding
of
the
mechanisms
of
quartz
toxicity,
including
its
mechanisms
for
lung
carcinogenicity.
Additional
studies
are
needed
to
determine
whether
the
cell
transforming
activity
of
quartz
is
related
to
its
carcinogenic
potential.
