SECTION 2: Hazards identification
OSHA Emergency Overview The product contains crystalline silica (< 1%). OSHA considers minerals such as this to be a nuisance dust. Inhalation of high amounts of dust over long periods may overload lung clearance mechanisms and make the lungs more vulnerable to respiratory disease. Long term inhalation of crystalline silica dusts may cause silicosis (lung cancer). Crystalline silica has been classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A) by IARC, a unit of the World Health Organization. The silica dusts have been classified a carcinogen by NTP and/or OSHA.
