Prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica can cause lung damage and cancer. This product is considered an inhalation hazard when used in a manner that generates airborne dust in excess of established health and safety standards and guidelines, which requires additional personal protective equipment (PPE) or engineering control measures to control airborne dust levels, such as local exhaust ventilation, utilizing wet methods and performing work in open air environments. Consult section 8 for proper PPE to use with this material. Contact with natural sand and gravel may be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Avoid contact with the eyes and wear appropriate skin and eye protection when necessary. Appropriate respiratory protection should be worn to protect workers from exposures to airborne dust when engineering controls are not feasible. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion TARGET ORGANS: Skin, Eyes, Respiratory system SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Generally this product may generate dust and cause irritation to the eyes, throat and upper respiratory system. Inhalation exposure can cause coughing and wheezing. Page 1 of 7
Chronic exposure to crystalline silica may cause decreased pulmonary function and progressive respiratory symptoms. In some cases, there may be no signs or symptoms of exposure to crystalline silica. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Health effects are dependent on exposure concentration and duration of exposure. Chronic exposure to crystalline silica can cause lung damage and cancer. EYE CONTACT: Dust produced from mechanical operations may irritate the eyes causing redness and watering, pain and burning. Crystalline silica can cause abrasion of the cornea. SKIN CONTACT: Dusts may cause mechanical irritation. INHALATION: Under normal conditions, inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica can cause lung damage and cancer. INGESTION: Ingestion is not a primary route of exposure under normal working conditions. CARCINOGEN STATUS: Natural Sand and Gravel is not listed as a carcinogen by ACGIH, OSHA, NTP, or IARC. However, natural sand and gravel contains crystalline silica which is in preparation from International Agency Research on Cancer (IARC) to be classified as a group 1 carcinogen (carcinogenic to humans). National Toxicology Program recognizes respirable silica as known to be a human carcinogen. CONDITIONS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED: May aggravate any pre-existing respiratory conditions. SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush the eyes with large amounts of room temperature water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing operation. Get immediate medical attention if irritation persists. SKIN CONTACT: Wash affected areas thoroughly with water. INHALATION: Remove the person from the exposure and move to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention if severe coughing or breathing difficulty occurs. INGESTION: Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Wear fire fighter s protective clothing and a NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS: Contact with powerful oxidizing agents may cause fire and/or explosion. NFPA RATING: Health = 1 (Can cause irritation) Fire = 0 (will not burn) Reactivity = 0 (Stable) Special = ne SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use the personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8. SPILL PROCEDURES: Use procedures that minimize airborne dust generation. DISPOSAL: Follow the procedures recommended in Section 13. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING: Wear personal protective equipment and follow the exposure control measures recommended in Section 8. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and prolonged breathing of airborne dust. STORAGE: Under normal conditions, no special handling precautions are required for this product.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear approved safety glasses with side shields and/or an appropriate full faced shield. All eye protection should be selected and worn in accordance with the OSHA eye and face protection guidelines outlined in 29 CFR 1910.132 and 1910.133. Page 3 of 7
SKIN PROTECTION: Under normal conditions, the use of additional PPE is not necessary to protect the skin. However, protective clothing, including gloves, aprons, and other outer garments may be desirable in extremely dusty areas. All PPE should be selected and worn in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.132 and 1910.138. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to prevent inhalation overexposures to dust. Respirators must be selected based on the airborne levels found in the workplace and must not exceed the working limits of the respirator. All respirators should be selected and worn in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.132 and 1910.134.

Silica dissolves in hydrofluoric acid producing a corrosive gas- silicon tetraflouride. Fluorine Boron Trifluoride Chlorine Trifluoride Manganese Trifluoride Oxygen Difluoride HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: When heated, quartz is transformed into tridymite (above 860 o C/1580 o F and cristobalite (above 1470 o C/2678 o F). Both tridymite and cristobalite are considered more fibrogenic to the lungs than quartz. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Page 4 of 7
