SECTION VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Summary of Health Risks and Symptoms of Exposure: May cause mechanical skin and eye irritation. Repeated and prolonged exposures to iron oxide dust may cause a benign pneumoconiosis called siderosis.
Principal Routes of Entry: Inhalation,ingestion,skin and eye irritation.
Accute Effects: Causes mechanical skin and eye irritation.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged inhalation of iron oxide dust is known to produce a condition known as siderosis. On X-rays it appers to be a genign pneumoconiosis and is not associated with pulmonary fibrosis or diasbility unless there is concurrent exposure to other fibrosis-producing materials such as silica.The TLV is set to protect against siderosis.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with generous amounts of water for at least 15-minute. Call a physician if irritation persists.
