2.2 Label elements
Not classified: pictogram is not required Not classified: signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statement are not applicable. Other hazards not leading to classification The principal hazard is due to inhalation of dust. The normal grain size of zircon precludes it from being an inhalation hazard. Avoid the creation of dust during handling and processing. With some products, certain processes (e.g. grinding, drying), airborne respirable crystalline silica (quartz) may be generated. Prolonged and/or massive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica may cause lung fibrosis, commonly referred to as silicosis. Principal symptoms of silicosis are cough and breathlessness. Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust should be monitored and controlled. US Specific for Crystalline Silica >0.1% Statement regarding IARC classification
Contains
0.1% crystalline silica which in the form of quartz or cristobalite dust is regarded by IARC as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). US Specific: Additional consideration is need from radionuclides (section 3).
