Inhalation of silica dust can cause drying of mucousmembranes of the eyes, nose and throat (due to absorption of moisture and oils) which may result inirritation and occasional nose bleeds. Repeated exposure to silica gel has NOT been reported tohave significant adverse health effects in workers. However, persons with breathing problems orlung disease may be at an increased risk.
