IARC group 1

National Toxicity Program (NTP) Status 2

Reproductive toxicity : Based on a vailable data, the classification criteria are not met.

Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) : May cause respiratory irritation.

Specific target organ toxicity (repeated

exposure) : Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exp osure. (Respirable crystalline silica

in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is listed by the International

Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) as a lung

carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to resp irable crystalline silica has been known to cause

silicosis, a lung disease, which may be disabling. While there may be a factor of individual

susceptibility to a given exposure to respirable silica dust, the risk of contracting silicosis and the

severity of the disease is clearly related to the amount of dust exposure and the length of time

(usually years) of exposure.)

Aspiration hazard : Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.

Symptoms/injuries after inhalation : May cause r espiratory tract irritation.

Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : Causes skin irritation. May cause burns in the presence of moisture. Skin contact during hydration

may slowly develop sufficient heat that may cause severe burns possibly resulting in per manent

injury. Do not allow product to harden around any body part or allow continuou s, prolonged contact

with skin. Handling can cause dry skin. May cause sensitisation by skin contact.

Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : Causes serious eye damage. Ma y cause burns in the presence of moisture. Symptoms may include

discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear production, with possible redness and swelling.

Symptoms/injuries after ingestion : Harmful if swallowed. May cause stomach distress, nausea or vo miting.

Other information : Likely routes of exposure: ingestion, inhalation, skin and eye.
