Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Silica sand does not present dangers in itself. However alveolar particles can be produced when handled. These particles can affect health. -
Health hazards
inhalation of alveolar crystalline silica for prolonged periods or very long periods can cause pulmonary fibrosis, generally referred to as silicosis. -
Environmental hazards
none -
Other physicochemical hazards
none - Specific risks: silicosis - Main symptoms: The main symptoms of silicosis are coughing and difficulty breathing. Exposure to dust must be controlled and recorded.
