[Inhalation]

Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes irritation of mucous membrane. Inhalation may produce lachrimation, sneezing, rhinnorhea, cough, dyspnea, bronchial asthma, and cyanosis.
[Skin]

Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Contact with the skin may cause urticaria (hives).
[Eyes]

Causes eye irritation. In the eyes, the dusts cause a burning sensation, lachrimation, and conjunctival hyperemia, sometimes associated with photophobia.
