SECTION 2: Hazards identification
The grain size distribution of silica sand means that it is not hazardous as defined by Regulation EC 1272/2008 and in Directive 67/548/EEC Respirable silica dust generated by processing and handling of silica sand may cause health effects. Prolonged and/or massive inhalation of respirable silica dust may cause lung fibrosis commonly referred to as silicosis. Principal symptoms of silicosis are cough and breathlessness. Occupational exposure to respirable silica dust should be monitored and controlled. This product contains less than 1% respirable silica.
