Dear Mr. Jordan or Mr. Neuffer: 

On January 15, 1997, due to extreme economic conditions, Stark Ceramics, Inc. sold two-thirds 

of its plant capacity to another company. The plant complex called B/C had two tunnel kilns and 

usual clay preparation, extrusion, drying, kiln firing and storage capacity. The remainder of the 

facility, called A/D Plant, has only one tunnel kiln along with accompanying clay preparation, 

extrusion, drying and storage facility. 

The year 1996 was one of turmoil and transition. The plant complex (one portion or the other) was 

shut down for several months for maintenance repairs and/or business conditions. We feel the 

information requested for the year 1996 is not applicable to the current situation and will be 

inappropriate or not representative for the purposes for which it is being requested. The year 1997 

and beyond will be more representative of what LEPA is requesting for compiling information. 

Therefore, we have used 1997 year data wherever it was applicable, especially Section II, III, and 

IV. We hope this information is useful. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 330-488-1211. Thank you. 

Yours truly, 

Surinder K. Maheshwary

VI. Identification of Brick and Structural Clay Product Manufacturing Emission Points 

A. Use the process flow diagrams developed for your facility and Table 4 to provide 

the' following information for each HAP emission source at your facility. 

• Define HAP emission source type in terms of equipment, such as dryers, kilns, 

etc. As in the process flow diagram, you may group multiple pieces of similar 

equipment. 

• Use the same equipment ID numbers indicated on the process flow 

diagram(s). 

• If the emission source vents inside a building or to outside ambient air without 

first passing through a control device, place a check mark in the uncontrolled 

column. 

• If the emission source vents inside a building or to outside ambient air after 

passing through a fabric filter, dry injection fabric filter, or scrubber, place 

the APCD ID number(s) in the column corresponding to the APCD type. 

• If the emission source vents through a control device type not listed in Table 4, 

indicate the control device type in the other control column and place the 

APCD ID number in the appropriate cell. 

• In the emission test data column, place a"yes" or "no" in the appropriate cell to 

indicate whether the specific source has been tested for my pollutants, including 

any HAP's, VOC, PM, or opacity.

B. Using Table 5, please provide information on stack parameters and emission 

estimates for each emission point at your facility that is known or expected to emit 

HAP's. Provide information for a11 APCD's, including those that exhaust inside the 

building. Include data for each inlet and outlet, if available, as indicated in the 

table. If you have more than one inlet to an APCD, provide data for each of the 

inlets. Provide data in the units listed for each row. 

Provide emission estimates for any HAP's or HAP surrogates, such as PM for metal 

HAP's or VOC for organic HAP's. Emission estimates may consist of 

measurements reported in emission test reports or may be calculated using mass 

balances, emission factors, engineering judgement, or other estimation methods. 

Provide the emission estimates as emission factors in units of lb of pollutant 

emitted per ton of product (lb/ton). Provide complete copies of any emission test 

reports or other reports that document measurements of emissions. Test 

reports and other emission measurement documents should include the following 

information: process identification; location of sampling point; stack diameter, 

temperature, and flow rate; test method, including analytical procedures; number of 

test runs; emission concentration, emission rate, percent oxygen, and percent 

moisture for each test run; process operating rate; type of APCD; and APCD 

operating parameters. However, test reports with incomplete documentation may 

still be useful and should also be submitted. 

You do not need to fill out Table 5 for emission points that are covered by an 

emission test report that is included in your submittal. If enussion test reports are 

not available, provide calculations that support your emission estimate, 

including the basis for all assumptions in the estimate. Note that emission 

estimates are needed for all HAP's that the facility emits or has the potential to emit. 

(Please refer to the HAP list in Attachment 1.) If the information requested in the 

table is contained in your facility's operating permit, you may reference the 

applicable sections of the permit rather than filling out the table.

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE WHEN HANDLING OR PROCESSING 

Mode of entry into body: 

1. By INHALATION of dust or fumes, the respiratory system may be irritated and both acute and chronic overexposure can result. 

2. By INGESTION of lead compounds coming from dust trapped in the upper respiratory tract or fntroduced into the mouth on food, 

tobacco, finger or other objects, both acute and chronic overexposure can result. 

3. SKIN CONTACT of dust may cause irritation. 

4. SKIN ABSORPTION does not apply, as dusts are not absorbed. 

5. EYE CONTACT of dust or fume may cause irritation. 

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE 

ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: Lead intoxication will occur with accompanying symptoms of constipation, sleep disturbance, fatigue, headache, 

loss of appetite. Where inhalation is severe from heavy dusting or a large quantity is ingested and lelt untreated, colic, anemia, vomiting 

and neuritis will follow as evidenced by intense periodic cramps, aching bones and muscles, uncoordinated body movements. Worst case 

situations could result ln convulsions, stupor, coma, and encephalopathy. 

CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: Normal inhalation and/or ingestion of lead from the ambient air, foods and beverages is about 0.25 to 0.35 

mg. per day. The nonnal adult metabolism can eliminate almost one mg. of lead per day. When lead inhaled and/or ingested exceeds the 

body's ability to eliminate it, accumulation can reach the point where'symptoms and disability occur. In this context, lead has cumulative 

toxic eHect. 

Early eHects of chronlc overexposure to lead are diHlcult to detect, but symptoms include persistent fatigue, sleep disturbance, headache, 

aching bones and muscles, constipation, abdominal pains and loss of appetite. Prolonged inhalation and/or ingestion may be indicated by 

intense periodic cramps and constipation, nausea and vomiting. Excessive exposure may aNect blood, nervous (brain), digestive (s(omach), 

renal (kidneys), or reproductive systems. Synthesis of hemoglobin is Inhlbited and wlll result !n anemia. Apathy and depression may be symptoms. N left untreated, neuromuscular dysfunctlon, posslble paralysis and encephalopathy can result. Unusual occurrence of symptoms should 

prompt immediate contact of a physician. 

For lndustrfal expoaure, a worker's lead accumulation can be detected by an increase in blood lead above the base level established upon 

the emp/oyee's entry to the workplace. Blood lead above the biological limit value requlres /ob removal. 

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA has determined that lead compounds cause birth defects. The product of this MSDS is not listed on the 

National Toxicology Program "Annual Report of Carcinogens". 

~ 
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: 

INHALATION - Remove from exposure. Get medical attention if experiencing eHects of acute overexposure. 

INGESTION - Induce vomiting in a conscious individual. Get immediate medica/ attention. Call a physician. 

SKIN - Wash thoroughly with soap and water. 

EYES - Flush with copious quantities of water. Get immediate medical attention. 

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Lead and its inorganic compounds are neurotoxins which may produce peripheral neuropathy. For an overview 

of the eHects of lead exposure, consu/t Occupational Safety and Health Adm. App. A of Occupationa/ Exposure to Lead (29CFR1910. 1025). 

"A Guide for Physicians, Hea/th Maintenance of Workers Exposed to Inorganic Lead" is available from Lead /ndustries Association, Inc.,

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA 

This product contains either pigment(s) that belong to the mixed 

metal oxide pigment class and/or frit which is an amorphous 

glassy material. These ingredients have been chemically reacted 

at high temperatures. They consist of inetal atoms and oxygen 

atoms arranged in unique structures; the toxicological 

properties have not been thoroughly investigated. A small 

percentage of the starting materials may remain in this product 

and are considered hazardous under OSHA. 

PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: 

Inhalation, dermal and ingestion. 

OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: 

CONTAINS CRYSTALLINE SILICA: 

Crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a lung disease 

characterized by coughing, wheezing, impaired lung function 

and increased sputum production. This damage can be 

progressive and may cause death. May cause cancer following 

repeated and prolonged inhalation of the fine dust. Smoking 

aggravates these effects. Skin and eye contact may cause 

irritation due to mechanical abrasion. 

This product contains mixed metal oxide pigment(s) which 

consist of nickel, cobalt, manganese and trivalent chromium 

in combination with other materials. 

CONTAINS NICKEL COMPOUNDS: 

Nickel overexposure can cause allergic skin reactions and. 

; asthma. Inhalation can cause effects on the lungs such as 

, bronchitis, emphysema and impaired function, as well as 

kidney damage. Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting, 

diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Chronic overexposure during 

nickel production has been shown to cause lung and nasal 

cavity cancers in workers; these effects are directly 

related to the degree of exposure. The compounds associated 

with the production environment included metallic nickel, 
Page: 06 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 

41166A GRAY SPERSASTAIN (50F1166A0000) 

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (cont.) 

OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: 

nickel oxides and nickel sulfides. Workplaces other than 

those involved with mining, refining and alloy manufacture 

have not been studied. 

CONTAINS COBALT COMPOUNDS: 

Cobalt compounds can cause allergic skin reactions. 

Inhalation of dust, especially during the production of 

alloys, can cause coughing, wheezing, bronchitis, impaired 

lung function, permanent lung damage and asthma. Some of 

these lung effects are an allergic reaction. 

CONTAINS MANGANESE COMPOUNDS: 

Manganese compounds are not considered toxic by ingestion or 

skin contact. Chronic inhalation of manganese oxide dust 

during mining or fumes during steel processing can affect 

the brain. Symptoms may take more than two years to develop 

and have included apathy, sleepiness, confusion, compulsive 

behavior, hallucinations, irritability, loss of balanace 

difficulty in walki --, :7 and impotence. 

CONTAINS CHROMIUM (III; COMPOUNDS: 

Compounds of chromium, in its trivalent state, have no 

established toxicity. When swallowed, it is not expected to 

cause local or systemic effects since it is poorly absorbed. 

No specific effects have been observed from inhalation. 

Skin contact has been reported to cause skin irritation 

but not ulceration. Allergic skin reactions may occur in 

sensitive individuals, although it is believed that the 

hexavalent (VI) form of chromium is responsible for most 

of the reported cases. 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: 

Allergic skin reactions.

V. HUMAN HEALTH DAT.A: 

W. Y: 

ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY ....... : Eye Contact; Skin Contact; Inhalation 

HUMAN EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE: 

ACUTE INHALATION ..............: The hazardous ingredients listed for this 

product are incorporated into the pigment crystal which is an essentially 

insoluble complex. Exposure to the hazardous ingredients can occur if 

pigment dust is inhaled and the ingredients dissolve out of the pigment 

crystal. Because of the chemical stability of this type of pigment and its 

resistance to attack by acids or alkali, this is anticipated to occur very 

slowly. To date there is no significant evidence of adverse effects from 

industrial exposures. 

ACUTE SKIN CONTACT ............: Due to the abrasiveness of this product, 

mechanical irritation of the skin can occur, particularly if exposure is 

prolonged or repeated. Good personal hygiene and the use of protective 

creams will minimize this effect. 

ACUTE EYE CONTACT .............: Certain components are listed as hazardous 

ingredients because they are considered to be nuisance particulates. 

Nuisance particulates can cause unpleasant or uncomfortable deposits in the 

eyes, with symptoms of reddening and swelling, but do not cause any toxic 

effect or disease when exposures are kept in reasonable control. 

ACUTE INGESTION ...............: The hazardous ingredients listed for this 

product are incorporated into the structure of the pigment crystal which is 

an essentially insoluble complex. Exposure to the hazardous ingredients 

can occur if pigment dust is ingested and the ingredients dissolve out of 

the pigment crystal. Because of the chemical stability of this type of 

pigment and its resistance to attack by acids or alkali, this is 

anticipated to occur very slowly. To date there is no significant evidence 

of adverse effects from industrial exposures. 

CHRONIC EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE...: Repeated or prolonged inhalation of trivalent 

chromium compounds may cause chronic respiratory effects. (1) 

CARCINOGENICITY ...............: NTP, IARC and ACGIH found that "there is 

sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of Chromium and Certain 

Chromium Compounds both in humans and experimental animals". The Chromium 

Compounds that are considered carcinogenic are hexavalent chromium 

compounds. This product is a trivalent chromium compound. It is not 

specifically listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or ACGIH. 

NTP .......................... Not listed. 

IARC ......................... Not listed. 

OSHA ......................... Not regulated. 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS 

AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE ...... : Persons with preexisting eye or skin conditions 

or impaired pulmonary function may be more susceptible to the effects of 

this product.

hypersensitive to COBALT may develop asthma, bronchitis, shortness of 

breath or wheezing. 

INGESTION of large amounts may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal 

tract, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. 

NOTE: Animal studies have shown that repeated or prolonged ingestion of 

nickel salts may have reversible effects in male reproductive organs. 

CARCINOGENICITY 

NTP? NO IARC? YES OSHA? NO 

In evaluating COBALT and COBALT COMPOUNDS, the International Agency for 

Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is sufficient 

evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals and inadequate 

evidence of carcinogenicity to humans (Group 2B). The American 

Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has listed 

cobalt and inorganic cobalt compounds as animal carcinogens (A3). The 

1~ 
ENGELHARD Page 3 Code: 541-243 

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Date: 19 SEP 1995 

National Toxicology Program (NTP) has not made a determination 

concerning cobalt and its compounds. The cobalt compound in this product 

has not been specifically identified as a possible carcinogen. 

Certain CHROMIUM +6 compounds have been listed as suspect human 

carcinogens by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), as suspect human 

carcinogens (Group 1) by The International Agency for Research on Cancer 

(IARC), and as confirmed human carcinogens (A1) by the American 

Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). There is 

insufficient evidence on the carcinogenicity of CHROMIUM and CHROMIUM +3 

compounds. This product contains CHROMIUM +3 compounds. 

In evaluating NICKEL COMPOUNDS, the International Agency for Research on 

Cancer (IARC) has.determined that there is sufficient evidence of 

carcinogenicity to humans (Group 1). The National Toxicology Program 

(NTP) lists only certain nickel compounds as substances which may 

reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogenic. The nickel compound in 

this product has not been specifically identified by NTP as a possible 

carcinogen. 

CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS 

Chronic exposure to COBALT COMPOUNDS may cause respiratory, 

gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems effects. 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE 

May aggravate existing medical conditions such as allergies, dermatitis, 

asthma, bronchitis or any other respiratory ailment.
