silica may not have been measured in this product. Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable
crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis) and/or lung cancer. The development of silicosis may
increase the risks of additional health effects. Smoking in combination with silica exposures increases the risk of
cancer. The risk of developing silicosis is dependent upon the exposure intensity and duration.
In June, 1997, IARC classified crystalline silica (quartz and cristobalite) as a human carcinogen. In making the overall
evaluation, the IARC Working Group noted that carcinogenicity in humans 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 states that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic
to humans (Group 1).
