Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Contains crystalline silica which is considered a hazard by inhalation. This classification is based on the findings of laboratory animal studies that were considered sufficient and data from epidemiological studies that were considered limited for carcinogenicity.
Crystalline silica is also a known cause of silicosis, a noncancerous lung disease.
NTP has classified crystalline silica a reasonably anticipated human carcinogen. The mica in this product contains crystalline silica. Crystalline silica is considered a probable human carcinogen by the international agency for research on cancer, based on limited evidence for the carcinogenicity to humans and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. The national toxicology program has classified crystalline silica as a reasonably anticipated human carcinogen. Prolonged inhalation of mica may cause pneumoconiosis.
