Danger
Hazard statements
May cause cancer. May cause damage to organs (lung) through prolonged or repeated exposure (inhalation).
Prevention
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Do not breathe dust. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
Response
If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Storage
Store locked up by restricting or controlling access to stockpile areas. Do not walk on stockpiles.

Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with local/regional/federal/international regulations. Hazard(s) not otherwise None known.
Additional information
Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) may cause cancer. Sandstone is a naturally occurring mineral complex that contains varying quantities of quartz (crystalline silica). In its natural bulk state, sandstone is not a known health hazard. Sandstone may be subjected to various natural or mechanical forces that produce small particles (dust) which may contain respirable crystalline silica (particles less than 10 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter). Repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (quartz) may cause lung cancer according to IARC and NTP; ACGIH states that it is a suspected cause of cancer. Other forms of RCS (e.g., tridymite and cristobalite) may also be present or formed under certain industrial processes.
