Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
CAUTION May cause eye and respiratory tract irritation Overexposure may cause skin irritation or burns
Health hazards
Acute Eye: Silica dust may cause eye irritation due to mechanical action. Skin: Silica dust may cause skin irritation due to mechanical action. Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, may include pain, vomiting, abdominal tenderness and blood in the vomit and/or feces.
Potential health effects
Chronic Excess exposure to large amounts of dust can cause irritation of the lining tissue of the interior of the nose and the cornea. Hypersensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis. Prolonged excessive exposure to respirable silica may cause delayed chronic lung disease — silicosis. IARC Monographs concludes there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica to experimental animals, and limited evidence to humans. NTP has listed Respirable Crystalline Silica in the 6th Annual Report on Carcinogens. Carcinogenicity: NTP IARC Monographs OSHA Regulated YES
