11. Toxicological information
Information on likely routes of exposure
Inhalation
May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure by inhalation. Inhalation of
dusts may cause respiratory irritation. Prolonged inhalation may be harmful.
Skin contact
Causes skin irritation. Prolonged contact with wet cement/mixture may cause burns.
Eye contact
Causes serious eye damage. Prolonged contact with wet cement/mixture may cause burns.
Ingestion
Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Symptoms related to the
physical, chemical and
toxicological characteristics
Severe eye irritation. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred
vision. Permanent eye damage including blindness could result. Upper respiratory tract irritation.
Coughing. Discomfort in the chest. Shortness of breath. Wheezing. Skin irritation.
Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity
May cause respiratory irritation.
Skin corrosion/irritation
Causes skin irritation.
Serious eye damage/eye
irritation
Respiratory or skin sensitization
Causes serious eye damage.
Respiratory sensitization
No data available.
Skin sensitization
No data available.
Germ cell mutagenicity
No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% are
mutagenic or genotoxic.
Carcinogenicity
May cause cancer.
In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica
inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However in making the
overall evaluation, IARC noted that "carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial
circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the
crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its
polymorphs." (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to
humans, Silica, silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June
2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the
main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis. "There is
sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in persons with
silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in quarries and
in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer
risk..." (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art, worker
protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing regulatory
occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline
silica should be monitored and controlled.
