Danger Warning
Hazard statements
H317 – May cause skin irritation H335 – May cause respiratory irritation H372 – Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (relates possible lung damage if exposed to respirable silica).
Precautionary statements

2.3 Other hazards
2.3.1. 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.
