Exposure Risks for Graphite Dust Excessive exposure to graphite presents serious dangers to the respiratory system. Well-documented health effects include lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis, an occupational lung disease. [robovent.com]
WEST SYSTEM fillers present few hazards by themselves. However, breathing any nuisance dust will worsen existing respiratory problems. Smokers and others whose lungs are under strain are far more likely to develop serious respiratory problems. [westsystem.com]
I can find none which address the issue of pencil lead in the skin or any sources of any kind where any danger from graphite under the skin or any other "small" exposure presents any danger whatever. [answers.google.com]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
Health Hazard Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Cough, dyspnea (breathing difficulty), black sputum, decreased pulmonary function, lung fibrosis Target Organs: respiratory system, cardiovascular system (NIOSH, 2016) Reactivity [cameochemicals.noaa.gov]
Skin
- Blister
If left untreated for long periods it can progress to eczema, a form of dermatitis that can include swelling, blisters and itching. Partially cured epoxy sanding dust, if allowed to settle on the skin, can also lead to contact dermatitis. [westsystem.com]
The surface became rough owing to the formation of blisters. The average diameter and height of blisters was approximately 150 and 20-30 nm, ... Preliminary results on development of a thin GSO scintillator for neutron science J. H. Kaneko, N. [researchmap.jp]
- Flushing
The dust comes in contact with the fluid being used and is flushed away to a collection unit. [moldmakingtechnology.com]
EYES : Flush eyes with lukewarm water, including under upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed : May cause irritation. [espimetals.com]
Treatment
[…] information on ARDS, sedation of critically ill patients, rehabilitation for COPD, care of elderly patients, genetic testing for asthma, CTA and other diagnostic techniques for pulmonary thromboembolism, new antifungal drugs without renal toxicity, new treatment [books.google.com]
There is no proven effective treatment for CWP, although complications can be treated. There are several U.S. laws regarding CWP and its treatment, and the government may help pay for treatment. [northshore.org]
What treatments or support are available to me? Author Amy Ahasic, MD, MPH, FCCP Date Last Reviewed January 2018 [foundation.chestnet.org]
Treatment If you have pneumoconiosis and you develop breathing problems, your doctor will advise you to avoid further exposure to the mineral dust. [drugs.com]
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment : No other relevant information available. 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media : Use suitable extinguishing agent for surrounding materials and type of fire. [espimetals.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis The outlook for this disease depends on the specific type of pneumoconiosis, the length of exposure to mineral dust, the level of exposure and whether the patient is a smoker. [drugs.com]
Prevention
It is difficult, but not impossible to prevent recurrences. Resume epoxy use only after symptoms disappear, and strictly follow the recommended handling procedures to prevent exposure. [westsystem.com]

Preventing inhalation of harmful dusts make pneumoconiosis a preventable disease. [foundation.chestnet.org]
Prevention Pneumoconiosis almost always can be prevented. [stlimaging.ca]
Wet System The second method for dust control is to use a “wet” system to saturate the area around the cutter part with a liquid to prevent dust from entering into the surrounding atmosphere. [moldmakingtechnology.com]
