<br />Includes forms such
<br />as cristobalite,
<br />quartz, tridymite,
<br />and tripoli
<br />primarily due to irritation issues. Colorless,
<br />odorless noncombustible solid. A
<br />component of many mineral dusts. Usually a
<br />long term chronic exposure hazard.
<br />Symptoms can involve cough, dyspnea
<br />(breathing difficulty), wheezing; decreased
<br />pulmonary function, progressive respiratory
<br />symptoms (silicosis); irritation of eyes.
<br />Potential occupational carcinogen – lung
<br />cancer. Incompatible and/or reactive with
<br />powerful oxidizers such as fluorine, chlorine,
<br />acetylene and ammonia.

<br />Exposure routes via inhalation, ingestion,
<br />skin and/or eye contact. Narcotic in high
<br />concentrations; An irritant to the eyes, nose,
<br />throat, and central nervous system causing
<br />dizziness, vomiting, headache, and nausea;
<br />defats the skin leading to dermatitis. A
<br />dangerous fire hazard, keep away from heat,
<br />flames, and other sources of ignition;
<br />Incompatible with strong oxidizers, strong
<br />bases, caustics, chlorine compounds, strong
<br />acids, and ammonia. Class 1B flammable
<br />liquid.

<br />An irritant to the eyes and upper respiratory
<br />tract; headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,

<br />strongly with oxidizers, acids and organic
<br />peroxides; a dangerous fire and explosion
<br />hazard, combustion releases toxic gases.

<br />Exposure via inhalation, ingestion, skin
<br />and/or eye contact. Symptoms include
<br />irritation of the eyes and nose. Higher
<br />exposures can result in nausea, headache,
<br />dizziness, light- headedness; tingling,
<br />numbness in body extremities, peripheral
<br />and CNS effects; redness, dryness of skin,
<br />edema and blistering. A flammable liquid;
<br />explosive vapor, can flash back to fuel
<br />source; reacts violently with oxidizers,
<br />peroxides, nitric acid and perchlorates;
<br />thermal decomposition produces toxic gases.
