Exposure guidelines Occupational exposure to nuisance dust (total and respirable) and respirable crystalline silica
should be monitored and controlled. Occupational Exposure Limits are not relevant to the current
physical form of the product.
Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
controls should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Carcinogenicity 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.
