Chronic or Delayed This product is not listed as a carcinogen by ACGIH, NTP, IARC or OSHA. Long-Term However, it may contain crystalline silica (quartz), a substance which has been listed as a carcinogen by ACGIH, NTP and IARC. Crystalline silica is a naturally- occurring mineral component of many sands and clays. Although the carcinogenic potential of crystalline silica in humans is controversial, it must be considered if it is inhaled under excessive exposure conditions. The respirable portion of the silica that may be contained in this product, however, is small, such that inhalation exposure during anticipated conditions of use is minimal. This product or its components may have long term (chronic) health effects.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
