Section 2
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Quartz sand does not meet the criteria for classification as dangerous as defined in Directive 67/548/EEC and in the Regulation EC 1272/2008 (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of dangerous substances). The grain size distribution of silica sand means that it is not hazardous. However, any respirable crystalline silica 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 should be monitored and controlled.
