EXPOSURE TO CHRYSOTILE, AMOSITE, MIXTURES CONTAINING CRCCIOOLITE, AND OTHER FORMS OF ASBESTOS HAS RESULTED IN A HIGH INCIDENCE OF LUNG CANCER, ANO PLEURAL AND PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMAS. GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS WERE INCREASED IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO AMOSITE, CH&YSOTILE OR MIXED FIBERS CONTAINING CROCIDOLITEo AN EXCESS OF LARYNGEAL CANCER HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED. ASBESTOS IS A SKIN, EYE AND MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITANT. INHALATION: ASBESTOS: HEALTH EFFECTS AND FIRST AIO 0HS02110 IRR IT ANT/CARC INOGSN . ACUTE EXPOSURE- MAY CAUSE ACUTE IRRITATION AND COUGHING. PAGE 03 OF 06 CHRONIC EXPOSURE- INTENSE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE PULMONARY FIBROSIS, A`TERMINAL PNEUMOCONIOSIS CALLEO "ASBESTOSIS", WHICH MAY APPEAR AS SOON AS 13 YEARS AFTER EXPOSURE, BUT TYPICALLY DEVELOPS OVER 20*-40 YEARS. FATAL EXPOSURE MAY BE AS BRIEF AS 3 MONTHS DURING CHILDHOOO. DYSPNEA IS THE MAIN SYMPTOM, FOLLOWED BY CHEST PAIN, COUGHING, OECREASEO VITAL CAPACITY, BASAL RALES, CYANOSIS, COR PULMONALE, CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS AND TOES, ANOREXIA, WEAKNESS, AND WEIGHT LOSS. RADIOLOGIC STUDIES MAY SHOW DIFFUSE INCREASE IN LUNG DENSITY AND PLEURAL CALCIFICATION. SPONTANEOUS PLEURAL EFFUSION HAS OCCURREO IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS AS SOON AS 3-4 YEARS AFTER INITIAL EXPOSURE. ASBESTOS WORKERS SHOW AN INCREASE IN PLEURAL OR PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMAS AND HIGH RATES OF RESPIRATORY'CANCER. THE LATENT PERIOD FOR LUNG CANCER IS USUALLY 15-30 YEARS; FOR MESOTHELIOMA, 3.5-30 YEARS. THE INCIDENCE OF PULMONARY FIBROSIS AND LUNG CANCER IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS IS INCREASED BY SMOKING. FIRST AID- REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT REST. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. SKIN CONTACT: ASBESTOS: IRRITANT. ACUTE EXPOSURE- MAY CAUSE REDNESS, IRRITATION, AND ITCHING. ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY PENETRATE THE SKIN AND RESULT IN "ASBESTOS CORNS", DUE TO THICKENING OF THE SKIN AROUND THE IMPLANTED FIBER. THESE CORNS 00 NOT LEAD TO SKIN TUMORS AND DISAPPEAR ON REMOVAL OF THE FIBERS. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE OERMATITIS. FIRST A10-- REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES IMMEDIATELY. WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP OR MILO DETERGENT AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY L5-20 MINUTES). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. EYE CONTACT: ASBESTOS: IRRITANT. ACUTE EXPOSURE- DIRECT CONTACT MAY CAUSE REDNESS AND IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS. FIRST AID- WASH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER, OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER ANO LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INGESTION: ASBESTOS: ACUTE EXPOSURE- INGESTION MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- PROLONGED OR REPEATED INGESTION OF ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE INVOLVED IN STOMACH, COLON, ANO RECTAL CANCER. ASBESTOS CONTAMINATED RICE HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AS THE CAUSE FOR A HIGH INCIDENCE OF STOMACH CANCER IN JAPAN. 0HS02110 PAGE 04 OF 06 FIRST AIO- REMOVE BY GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMESIS. MAINTAIN BLOOO PRESSURE ANO AIRWAY. GIVE OXYGEN IF RESPIRATION IS DEPRESSED. DO NOT PERFORM GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMESIS IF VICTIM IS UNCONSCIOUS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
