Extreme exposures can overwhelm the normal respiratory defense mechanisms and result in temporary difficulty in breathing. Skin Contact: Skin Absorption: Asbestos splinters nay penetrate the skin and cauae asbestos "corns." Sot applicable. Eye Contact: May cauae irritation and abrasions. Ingestion: Ho known effects. CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Route of Exposure: Inhalation: Overexposure to Chiysotile Asbestos has caused tm-- g* to longs (asbestosis), lung cancer and mesothelioma of the pleura end peritoneum. Symptoms, which are usually not manifested until 15-- 20 years sfter exposure, include labored breathing, chest pains, weakness, and chest CHthtoni. Pleural thickening, plaques and effusion are nondisabling conditions, seen separately or together, that h a m b e e n 'associated w ith prolonged ttbeicoi exposure. The risk of lung cancer is greatly increased for those who smoke cigarettes regularly in addition to having asbestos exposures. Skin Contact: Skin Absorption: Eye Contact: Ingestion: Mot applicable. Mot applicable. Ci 920V Same as acute effects. Usually reversible on removal from exposure. Some studies indicate that asbestos overexposure is implicated as a causa p i O ' S ' U i t e i t i M l and laryngeal cancers, but the evidence is c o n f l i c t i n g . ____________ - EMERGENCY AND. FIRST A I D PROCEDURES________ Route of Exposure: Inhalation: Skin Contact: No acute toxicity: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oaroeu may be administered. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Call a physician. Remove asbestos slivers promptly. If "asbestos corn" develops, surgical removal may be required. Eye Contact: itrion: Irrigate gently with water for 15 minutes. Refer to ophthalmologist Co rule out possibility of damage to cornea or eyeball by fibers. None indicated. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ` medical s u r v c i U a n ce program must be established for asbestos-exposed persons in eeco r ^ n c e with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's standard Asbestos (29 CFK Part 1910.1001).
