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.

Respiratory or skin sensitization
Respiratory sensitization
Based on available Data, the classification criteria are not met.
Skin sensitization
Based on available Data, the classification criteria are not met.
Germ cell mutagenicity
The chemical structure does not suggest a specific alert for such an effect. Based on
available Data, the classification criteria are not met.
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.
