C H R O N IG Repeated o r prolonged inhalation of air-bom dust of this material may cause scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis), with shortness o f breath, chronic cough, and respiratory assisted heart failure. Prolonged exposure to talc can produce symptomatic talc pneumoconiosis (talcosis). ACUTE: Direct contact may cause dryness, or may cause mild irritation if an allergic predisposition exists. CH R O N IG Prolonged contact may cause dryness of the skin, or may cause mild irritation if an allergic pre-disposition exists ACUTE: Direct contact with dust may cause mechanical irritation of the eyes.

If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration and get medical attention immediately. Keep person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Apply common skin moisturizers to relieve dryness. Irritations are uncommon; however, if irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention. Broken skin can be cleansed with mild soap and water. Wash eyes with large amounts of water or normal saline solution. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention. iTO; ^ : ' ;S| F lam m ability Thus product is N O T flammable, N O T reactive, N O T explosive, has N O flash point, and poses N O special hazards in the presence of fire.

Place in sealed container. mm- ! Large Spill For large spills, shovel or sweep up (while keeping dispersion of dust in air to a minimum) and place into suitable sealed containers for reclamation or later disposal Residue should be cleaned up using a highefficiency particulate filter vacuum. The use of water wash-down is not recommended. W et material can cause a surface used for walking to become extremely slippery.
