7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust. Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Exposure guidelines Occupational exposure to nuisance dust (total and respirable) and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled. Exposure limits for CRYSTALLINE SILICA - The US OSHA exposure limits 8 hour TWA for CRYSTALLINE SILICA (QUARTZ) are calculated from the following equations: 30/(%SiO2+2) mg/m3 for total dust; and 10/(%SiO2+2) mg/m3 for the respirable fraction.

This product is not expected to cause skin sensitization. Skin sensitization Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified. Carcinogenicity Not expected to be hazardous by OSHA criteria. Exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is listed by IARC and NTP as a lung carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica has been known to cause silicosis, a lung disease, which may be disabling.
