SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Classification of the substance or mixture according to GB 13690-2009 and GB 30000-2013 Classification of the substance or mixture according to GB 13690-2009 and GB 30000-2013 Emergency overview Solid. [Granular solid.] Yellow./ Beige./ Black. Odorless. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. (lungs) Depending on the type of handling and use (e.g. grinding, drying), airborne respirable crystalline silica (quartz - cristobalite) may be generated. 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. Get medical attention if you feel unwell. See Section 12 for environmental precautions.
