SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (EO) OR FIRST AID (FA):
INHALATION: Primary effects are those of lead. Acute: Nausea, headache, cramps, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea. Chronic: Damage to liver and kidney, blood forming organs, reproductive systems. Remove from exposure. Biological monitoring and medical exam may be required for excessively overexposed persons.
INGESTION: Primary effects are those of lead. May cause vomiting, diarrhea, depression of circulation and in severe cases shock, coma, paralysis, and cyanosis Contact physician immediately
SKIN: Primary effects are those of arsenic. Arsenic has been known to produce itching, pigmentation and cancerous changes of the skin. Glass dust may cause irritation. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
EYE: Glass dust may cause irritation Flush well with running water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
GENERAL FIRST AID:

SECTION VI - SPILL, LEAK & DISPOSAL
1. No special precautions.

2. Waste disposal: Follow Federal, State and Local Regulations

SECTION VII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
  1. Local exhaust: Use local exhaust ventilation, hood or equipment to avoid dispersal of fibrous or other glass into the workspace air.
  2. Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory- If dust or particulate are above the OSHA permissible exposure limits use a NIOSH approved respirator.
  3. Eye Protection-Industrial safety glasses that meet ANS Z 81 standards.
  4. Protective gloves-Recommend gloves for protection from sharp edges.
  5. Parental guidance required in handling this material. See Section VIII concerning Children.

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS & COMMENTS
1. Reactivity: This is stable material. Glass is inert to many chemicals but may react or not with, strong alkaline solutions, and with hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids. If reaction occurs, hazardous decomposition or by products may occur, reaction may emit metal oxide fumes when heated to high temperature.

2. Parental guidance is extremely important in the handling of these products.

3. WARNING: This material’s composition contains lead and it is required as one of the elements in the achromatic kits. The achromatic kits are not recommended for juveniles. As a precaution, children and young adults should not be exposed to this material in a grinding and polishing mode during their developmental years even though the lead is not in a free state. Consult with your doctor about this safety issue, especially as it relates to a child’s development and health.
