HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC)
Acute health hazards are as listed above. Chronic: Prolonged exposure to
crystalline silica dust by inhalation may cause delayed injury/disease (Silicosis).
SENSITIZING CAPABILITY: NONE KNOWN
CARCINOGENICITY: NTP CARCINOGEN:Yes IARC MONOGRAPHS:Yes OSHA REGULATED:No
IARC has determined that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or
cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1 -
carcinogenic to humans). In a lifetime inhalation study, exposure to 250 mg/m3
titanium dioxide dust resulted in the development of lung tumors in rats. These
tumors occurred only at dust levels that overwhelmed the animals' lung clearance
mechanisms and were different from common human lung tumors in both type and
location. The relevance of these findings to humans is unknown. The International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified Titanium Dioxide as possibly
