Section VI - Health Hazard Data

Primary Route(s) of Entry	Acute and chronic Health effects and effects of overexposure	First and Medical Information
Inhalation (during use)	Acute: May cause coughing, shortness of breath (dust). Chronic: May effect breathing capacity (dust).	Remove to fresh air; apply artificial respiration as needed. Obtain first aid or medical assistance.
Ingestion	May cause gastrointestinal disturbances, constipation or diarrhea	Obtain first aid or medical assistance, if needed.
Skin (contact & absorption)	Irritation of the skin may occur due to mechanical/chemical action or dermatitis reaction.	Wash skin with soap and water. Obtain first aid and/or medical assistance if symptoms persist.
Eye	Dust or buffing debris may irritate or damage the eyes without protection. Always wear safety glasses and/or face shield helmets when performing buffing operations. See OSHA 29cfr1910.122 (Safety Glasses)	Wash with large amounts of water - obtain first aid or medical assistance, if needed.
Other Potential Health Risks (prolonged inhalation of dust particles may result in disabling pulmonary fibrosis.)	Symptoms might include deposits of materials in eyes, ears, nasal passages, irritation of mucus membranes. Warning: Do not breathe dust of compounds containing abrasive materials without following OSHA safety and health standards for dust accumulation collection.	Regular constant vigilance in safety and maintenance check-up programs are advised to reduce risks associated with buffing and polishing operations.
