V. HEALTH HAZARDS A. Summary/Risks
Summary: OSHA considers Perlite a nuisance dust and recommends a PEL of 5 mg/m
3
TWA respirable dust. Inhalation over long
periods of high amounts of any nuisance dust may overload lung clearance mechanism and make the lungs more vulnerable to
respiratory disease.
Medical Conditions Which May Be Aggravated: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung disease (such as bronchitis, emphysema,
asthma, or others).
Target Organ(s): Lungs Primary Entry Route(s): Inhalation Acute Health Effect: Transitory upper respiratory irritant.
Chronic Health Effects: See Summary. Follow the safe handling practices shown on the product bag label.
V. HEALTH HAZARDS B. Signs/Symptoms of Overexposure
Inhalation: Coughing, irritation of nose and throat; congestion may occur upon overexposure Skin Absorption: N/A
Skin Contact: N/A Ingestion: Not hazardous. Generally regarded as safe by the FDA. Eyes: Temporary irritation and/or inflammation.
V. HEALTH HAZARDS C. First Aid/Emergency Procedures
Inhalation: Remove from dusty area; drink water to clear throat; blow nose to evacuate dust. Skin Contact: N/A
Skin Absorption: N/A Ingestion: Not hazardous, generally recognized as safe by the FDA Eyes: Do not rub eyes. Flush eyes with
copious amounts of water to remove any dust particles. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
Vl. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Material is stable. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Chemical Incompatibilities: Hydrofluoric acid
Conditions to Avoid: None in designed use. Avoid contact with hydrofluoric acid. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Reacts with
Hydrofluoric acid to form toxic silicon tetra fluoride gas.
Vll. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Procedures for Spill/Leak: Vacuum clean or wet sweep; avoid dusting; use a dust suppressant when sweeping.
Waste Management: Not considered as hazardous waste by RCRA (40 CFR Part 261). Place waste and spillage in closed containers.
Dispose in approved landfill. RQ-N/A
VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Goggles: Normally not required. You may use safety eyewear to protect from dusts. Gloves: Normally not required. You may use
gloves to protect overly sensitive skin. Respirator: Even though Perlite is a nuisance dust, we recommend the use of NIOSH approved
respirators to protect against silicosis producing dusts. Ventilation: Use adequate exhaust ventilation and/or dust collection to keep
dust levels below PEL.
Special Considerations for Repair/Maintenance of Contaminated Equipment: Insure proper respiratory protection.
IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Storage Segregation Hazard Classes: N/A
***ALWAYS SEGREGATE MATERIALS BY MAJOR HAZARD CLASS***
Special Handling/Storage: Store in dry place. Repair all broken bags immediately. Avoid creating dust. Maintain good housekeeping
practice. Special Workplace Engineering Controls: Adequate ventilation and appropriate local exhaust where needed to keep dust
levels below PEL. Other: Comply with all Federal, State and local regulations.
As of the date of preparation of this document, the foregoing information is believed to be accurate and is provided in good
faith to comply with applicable Federal and State law(s). However, no warranty or representation with respect to such
