SECTION 2: Hazards identification
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Emergency overview Solid. [Granular solid.] White. Beige. Odourless. 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. Additional concern arises from radionuclides (section 3). See Section 12 for environmental precautions.
