Hazard statements
Natural graphite contains crystalline silica, variety quartz. This substance is not admixed with graphite, but is a naturally occurring mineral impurity that is intimately associated with the graphite. In most cases this silica is not in respirable form unless the graphite is very finely divided. IARC Monograph Vol. 68, 1997 concludes that there is sufficient evidence that inhaled crystalline silica causes cancer in human. IARC classification: group 1
