SECTION 15: REGULATORY INFORMATION
 Carcinogenicity  Reproductive Effects  Teratogenicity  Mutagenicity
Limestone is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology
Program (NTP), or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In October 1996, an IARC Working Group re-
assessing crystalline silica, a component of Limestone, designated respirable crystalline silica as carcinogenic (Group 1).
The NTP’s Report on Carcinogens, 9th edition, lists respirable crystalline silica as a “known human carcinogen.” In year
2000, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) listed respirable crystalline silica (quartz) as
a suspected human carcinogen (A-2). These classifications are based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in certain
experimental animals and on selected epidemiological studies of workers exposed to crystalline silica.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: WARNING (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986)
Component Limestone does not appear on the above regulatory listing. However, crystalline silica is a component of this
product. California regulates crystalline silica (airborne particles of respirable size) under the state of California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 as a cause of cancer.
