=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT FOR A SHORT
    DURATION IS NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE ADVERSE EFFECTS DIRECTLY AFTER
    EXPOSURE. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO TITANIUM DIOXIDE MAY CAUSE SLIGHT
    LUNG FIBROSIS. WHEN TITANIUM DIO XIDE WAS FED TO RATS AND MICE FOR
    THEIR LIFETIMES IN A CARCINOGEN BIOASSAY, IT WAS NOT CARCINOGENIC.
    HOWEVER, INHALATION OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE DUSTS AT 50 TIMES THE
    NUISANCE DUST LEVEL CAUSES FIBROSIS A ND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN LUNG
    TUMORS FOUND IN LAB RATS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF UNITANE
    TITANIUM DIOXIDE IS LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY IARC, NTP OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: IF A LARGE AMOUNT OF DUST IS INHALED, REMOVE
    PERSON TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, ADMINISTER ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, ADMINISTER OXYGEN. OBTAIN
    MEDICAL ASSISTAN CE. EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH LARGE VOLUME OF
    WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. SKIN:
    PIGMENT IS NOT HAZARDOUS BUT WASHING EXPOSURE AREAS AFTER USE IS
    RECOMMENDED. INGESTION : NO SPECIFIC ACTION IS RECOMMENDED. OBTAIN
    MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF NECESSARY.
