Primary routes of exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids are ingestion and inhalation, but may include eye or skin contact.
However, ingestion is not likely to be a primary route of occupational exposure.
Potential acute health effects : Health injuries are not known or expected under normal use.
Health conditions aggravated by exposure : Asthma, Respiratory disorders.
Inhalation : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Ingestion : Expected to be a low ingestion hazard for usual industrial handling.
Skin : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Primary irritant effect:
on the skin: May cause mechanical irritation (abrasion).
on the eye: May irritate the eyes by mechanical effect.
by inhalation: Dust may cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
Skin sensitization : This product is not expected to cause skin sensitization.
Respiratory sensitization : This product is not expected to cause respiratory sensitization.
Specific target organ toxicity
Single exposure (Globally Harmonized System) No significant effects or critical hazards.
Repeated exposure Inhalation - May cause respiratory irritation.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation.
Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce condition given as siderosis. On X-rays it
appears to be pneumoconiosis and it is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis or disability unless there is
concurrent exposure to other fibrosis-producing materials such as silica.
