SECTION 2: Hazards identification
1272/2008 NOT classified as dangerous in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or EC 1272/2008. Respirable dust may be released during processing, handling and use of natural aggregates, particularly through crushing, drilling, cutting, loading and unloading of bulk aggregates, or if the aggregate is supplied as a fine powder. If inhaled in excessive quantities over a prolonged period or extended period, respirable dust can constitute a long-term health hazard. Dusts containing Respirable Crystalline Silica (quartz) present a greater hazard. Long-term exposure to respirable dust can lead to respiratory system damage and disease. Respirable crystalline silica has been associated with the lung disease silicosis. Some sand aggregates are unsuitable for sand blasting operations as they may break down, producing respirable dust containing quartz. The quartz content of the product will vary, and is related to the type of mineral deposit from which the aggregate is produced. Advice on the quartz content and other chemical information is available from the supplying unit.
