Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any dusts or fumes
that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. If engineering measures are not
sufficient to maintain concentrations of dust particulates below the OEL, suitable respiratory
protection must be worn.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated. Wear dust-resistant safety goggles where there is
danger of eye contact.
Eye/face protection
Skin protection
No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.Hand protection
Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.Other

Carcinogenicity In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded
that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis.
"There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in
persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in
quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce
the cancer risk..." (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art,
worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing
regulatory occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable
crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled. No carcinogenicity data available for this
product. Sepiolite was evaluated by IARC as class 3 ("Cannot be classified as to carcinogenicity
to humans"). Based on read-across with sepiolite, bentonite was assessed as non-carcinogenic.
Therefore classification of bentonite for carcinogenicity is not warranted.
