SECTION 2: Hazards identification
The grain size distribution of silica sand means that it is not classified as hazardous. However, any respirable crystalline dust generated by processing and handling of silica sand may cause health effects. Prolonged and /or massive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause lung fibrosis, commonly referred to as silicosis. Principal symptoms of silicosis are cough and breathlessness. Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust should be monitored and controlled. Silica sand should not be used for dry sand blasting.
