Section 2
CLP CLASSIFICATION

2.2 Label elements
Not Classified
2.3 Other hazards
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.
