2.3 Other hazards
Warning This product does not release respirable dust when used in its normal state and uses; however this product does contain crystalline silica (CS), which is considered a hazard by inhalation. IARC has classified inhalation of CS as carcinogenic for humans. CS is listed by NTP as a known human carcinogen. Inhalation of CS is also a known cause of silicosis, a noncancerous lung disease. Activated carbon (especially when wet) can deplete oxygen from air in enclosed spaces, and dangerously low levels of oxygen may result. Prior to entering a confined space that contains or previously contained activated carbon, the space should be evaluated for oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations, and any other hazards, by a qualified person. Product may form combustible dust concentrations in air during processing. Specifically, in instances where product dust is suspended in air in sufficient concentrations and in proximity to an ignition source. Product as supplied and shipped does not constitute a dust hazard. Users of this product should examine the potential to generate dusts during handling and processing and related combustibility hazards and controls.
