10.6. Hazardous decomposition products

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Amorphous silica may transform at elevated temperatures to tridymite (870 C) or cristobalite

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

11.1. Information on toxicological effects
Acute Toxicity
Inhalation Inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is
carcinogenic to humans (IARC, Group 1). There is sufficient evidence in experimental
animals for the carcinogenicity of tridymite (IARC, Group 2A).

Breathing silica dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory passages.
Breathing silica dust may not cause noticeable injury or illness even though permanent lung
damage may be occurring. Inhalation of dust may also have serious chronic health effects
(See "Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity" subsection below).

Eye Contact May cause mechanical irritation to eye.

Skin Contact None known.
Ingestion None known.

Chronic Effects/Carcinogenicity Silicosis: Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause a progressive,
disabling, and sometimes-fatal lung disease called silicosis. Symptoms include cough,
shortness of breath, wheezing, non-specific chest illness, and reduced pulmonary function.
This disease is exacerbated by smoking. Individuals with silicosis are predisposed to
develop tuberculosis.

Cancer Status: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined
that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources
can cause lung cancer in humans (Group 1 - carcinogenic to humans) and has determined
that there is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of tridymite
(Group 2A - possible carcinogen to humans). Refer to IARC Monograph 68, Silica, Some
Silicates and Organic Fibres (June 1997) in conjunction with the use of these minerals. The
National Toxicology Program classifies respirable crystalline silica as "Known to be a
human carcinogen". Refer to the 9th Report on Carcinogens (2000). The American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies crystalline silica,
quartz, as a suspected human carcinogen (A2). There is some evidence that breathing
respirable crystalline silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence
of significant disease endpoints such as scleroderma (an immune system disorder
manifested by scarring of the lungs, skin, and other internal organs) and kidney disease.
