3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Not classified as hazardous according to ISO. Natural Mineral found on the beaches of India. The product is dominantly garnet (almandine variety) which is a Non-Hazardous substance. Traces of dust in the unused product are from calcium carbonate which is also Non-Dangerous and Non-Hazardous.

Particulars:

Eye: Solid or dust is moderate eye irritant due to its abrasive action.

Inhalation: May be regarded as nuisance dust but can be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations and may cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing.

Skin: Non hazardous.

Ingestion: There are no known hazards caused by accidental ingestion of small amount such as might occur during normal handling. Ingestion of larger quantities might cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal system as a result of abrasive action.

Radiation: Not Detectable above background levels


4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye: Hold eye as open and rinse continuously with a gentle stream of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any irritation or soreness of eye persists.

Inhalation: Remove from source of exposure into fresh air and seek medical attention if any symptoms persist.
