Pote ntial Health Effects Crystalline Silica (Quartz) [EPA Hazard Category: Health] Carcinogenicity: IARC Yes. ACGIH No component of this product pre sent at levels gre ater than or equal to is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by ACGIH.

5 OSHA No component of this product pre sent at levels gre ater than or equal to is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by OSHA. NTP Yes (resipirable). This product contains up to 5% crystalline silica. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has stated that there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity of crystalline silica to human beings. It was noted that carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances studied. The NTP's Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens includes respirable crystalline silica.

6 The Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR ) requires that any material containing over of a substance reported as a carcinogen in an IARC monograph or the most recent NTP Annual Report on Carcinogens must be identified as a carcinogen. These identifications are for hazard communications only and do not serve as assessments of carcinogenic risk. Crystalline silica is known to cause silicosis. At dust levels below the recommended PEL exposure to the crystalline silica contained in this product should not present a health hazard.

7 Inhalation of excessive concentrations of any dust, including this material, may lead to lung injury. As formulated, this product is not expected to form appreciable respirable crystalline silica dust from use or attrition. Because application and exposure data indicate exposure to respirable quartz in the normal use of the ingredient within this product which contains crystalline silica, is well below the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV). Adverse effects would not be expected from normal use of this product.
