### March 31, 1998
Mr. Bruce C. Jordan, Director Attn: Bill Neuffer Emission Standards Division (MD-13) U.S. EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 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. Maheshwa ry

### 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.

# BARIUM CARBONATE VII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE ;TEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED 

### Try to keep material dry and away from acid. Sweep or scoop up spilled material. Dispose of in an approved hazardous waste landfill or mix with excess sulfate to make material non-hazardous. NEUTRALIZING CHEMICALS 

### Can be made non-toxic by forming insoluble barium sulfate. React with suifuric acid 

### (caution - reaction can be violent). WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD 

### Waste containing more than 0.2% soluble barium is hazardous. Can be rendered non-hazardous by reaction with excess sulfate to form insoluble barium sulfate. Observe all federal, state, and local laws. PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS 

### 1. Reaction with acid can release large quantities of carbon dioxide which could lead to suffocation in a confined area. Use adequate ventilation. 2. A small amount of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas may be liberated on acidification (as an impurity). Use adequate ventilation. OTHER HANDLING AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS 

### Store away from acids. 

## VIII CONTROL MEASURES VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS 

### Provide sufficient ventilation to remove dust. SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY 

### Use NIOSH approved dust mask if excessive dust is present. EYE

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA (cont.)
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: 

### Inhalation, dermal and ingestion.
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS: CONTAINS ZINC OXIDE (as reacted into the frit/pigment): 

### If processing can produce zinc oxide fumes, its inhalation may cause nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, metallic taste and muscle pain.
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 cobalt and zinc oxide in combination with other materials.
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.

. ex ~ ;. : , :-.• ~ ~a L 4 . SECTION_V11.—.HEALTH.,,HAZARDINF,OFMT ~(OM~'~~ r HEALTH HAZARD NPCA HMIS RATING • 1 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., 292 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10017.
SgCTION VIII — SPECIAL PROTECTION SPECIFIC PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT RESPIRATORY: As specified by 29CFR1910.1025(f) of the Federal Occupationa/ Safety and Hea/th Administration Standard for Occupational Exposure to Lead — When handling, use a dust/fume respirator with N/OSH/MSHA approval. Respirator must be worn if TLV is exceeded. Refer to Tab/e l/ as specified in 29CFR1910.1025(f)(2)(i) for varlous exposure /eve/s. Other /ocal, state, and federal regulations may a/so apply. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Not required, but recommended. EYE PROTECTION: Not required, but recommended. OTHER CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: Protectfve clothing is required if /ead exposures exceed PEL or TLV; otherwise full body clothing shou/d be worn during product use and handling, be /eft at the work site and be properly /aundered after use, wtth the wash water disposed of in accordance with /ocal, state and federal regulations. Hard hat, safety boots, and other safety equipment should be wom as appropriate for the industrial environment. Personal c/othing, Including shoes, should be protected from contamination.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS Ventilation as described in the Industria/ Ventllation Manual, by ACG1H shall be provided where exposures exceed PEL or TLV speclfied in and in accord with OSHA Standard 29CFR 1910.94. Currently 0.050 mg/m 3 maximum and 0.030 mg/m 3 set as trigger and actiort /evels. Other /ocal and state regulations may apply.

SECTION X — SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS: There are two major means of /ead absorption; namely inhalation and ingestion. Most inha/ation problems can be prevented with attention to ventilation and respirator use. Ingestion can be prevented with good hygiene practices. Do not inhale or swa/low dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use g/oves and avoid spilling on hands, face, or body, to prevent secondary contamination by ingestion or inhalation. Do not smoke, eat, or apply cosmetics in work area. Wash thoroughly before entering into eating areas. Do not wear any part of work clothing home. This inc/udes shoes. Keep lead materia/s away from feed and food products. Keep away from children. Do not reuse containers. This product is intended for industrial use on/y.



## ~~SECTION XI — OTHER HANDLINa AND STORAl3E REQUIREMENTS

Store in dry area where accldental contact with aclds or bases is not posslble. When a spill re/eases material lnto the environment, !t may be necessary to file a report of the discharge. Contact your /oca/ environmental authorlt/es to determine what rules apply. Avoid skin contact.

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.

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. EXPOSURE LIMITS ...............: Refer to Section II.
