Potential health effects
INHALATION: This product contains crystalline silica (Quartz). Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica is known to cause lung cancer or silicosis, a scarring of the lungs, which may be disabling. While individual susceptibility to a given exposure to respirable silica dust may vary, the risk of contracting cancer or silicosis and the severity of the diseases are clearly related to the concentration and duration (usually years) of exposure. Exposure associated with proper uses of this product(s) should be well below the permissible exposure limits; however, employers should perform workplace testing to determine actual exposure levels. SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged handling may cause dry skin. 1 EYE CONTACT: Dust can cause eye irritation. INJESTION: Not applicable under normal conditions of use.
