SECTION 11: Toxicological information

11.1 Information on toxicological effects

Classification according to GHS (1272/2008/EC, CLP)

Acute toxicity
Shall not be classified as acutely toxic.

Skin corrosion/irritation
Shall not be classified as corrosive/irritant to skin.

Serious eye damage/eye irritation

Shall not be classified as seriously damaging to the eye or eye irritant.

Respiratory or skin sensitisation

Shall not be classified as a respiratory or skin sensitiser.

Summary of evaluation of the CMR properties

Shall not be classified as germ cell mutagenic, carcinogenic nor as a reproductive toxicant.

• The classification as carcinogenic is based on

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 it pointed out that not all industrial circumstances, nor all crystalline silica
types, were to be incriminated. (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).
So there is a body of evidence supporting the fact that increased cancer risk would be limited to people already suffering from
silicosis. Worker protection against silicosis should be assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational exposure limits
and implementing additional risk management measures where required (see section 16 below).

Specific target organ toxicity (STOT)

Shall not be classified as a specific target organ toxicant.

Training advice
A multi-sectoral social dialogue agreement on Workers Health Protection through the Good Handling and Use of Crystalline
Silica and Products Containing it was signed on 25 April 2006. This autonomous agreement, which receives the European Com-
mission’s financial support, is based on a Good Practices Guide. The requirements of the Agreement came into force on 25 Oc-
tober 2006. The Agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2006/C 279/02). The text of the Agree-
ment and its annexes, including the Good Practices Guide, are available from http://www.nepsi.eu and provide useful informa-
tion and guidance for the handling of products containing respirable crystalline silica. Literature references are available on re-
quest from EUROSIL, the European Association of Industrial Silica Producers.
