converted into cristobalite.
Avoid Breathing and Contact with Skin

chamber insulation follow these precaution
measures:
1. Use a NIOSH approved respirator which
meets OSHA requirements for cristo-
balite dust, similar to N95. Contact

ommendations.
2. Wear long sleeved, loose fitting clothing,
gloves and eyes protection.

4. Wash with soap and water after contact.
5. Wash potentially contaminated clothes
separately from other laundry and rinse
