11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Potential Health Effects:
Acute Hazards:
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract.
Skin contact: No known hazard.
Eye contact: Contact may cause mechanical, abrasive irritation with possible injury.
Ingestion: No known hazard.
Chronic Effects: Inhalation of excessive concentrations of any dust, including this material, may
lead to lung injury. This product contains crystalline silica, in the form of quartz. Excessive
inhalation of respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a progressive, disabling and
sometimes fatal disease of the lung. Symptoms may include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing
and reduced pulmonary function.
Carcinogenicity Listing: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in
Monograph 100C has concluded that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz is carcinogenic
to humans (Group 1). Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the
crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its
polymorphs. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies crystalline silica as a known
carcinogen. Applications and exposure data indicate that exposure to respirable quartz in this
product with normal use is well below the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and ACGIH
Threshold Limit Value (TLV). The manufacturer is not aware of any scientific or medical data
available indicating that exposure to respirable crystalline silica from this product under
conditions of normal use will cause silicosis or cancer. Adverse effects would not be expected from
normal use of this product.
Acute Toxicity Values: Silica: LD50 oral rat 22,500 mg/kg, LC50 carp
>10,000mg/L/72 hr.
