SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological Data:
Acute Toxicity: The lethal dose for humans for synethic amorphous silica is estimated at over 15000 mg/kg.
Inhalation: Synthetic amorphous silica has little adverse effect on lungs and does not produce significant toxic effect when
exposure is kept below the permitted limits. However, existing medical conditions (e.g. Asthma, bronchitis) may be aggravated
by exposure to dust.
Eye contact: Dust may cause discomfort and mild irritation
Skin contact: Dust may have a drying effect on the skin.
Sensitization: non-sensitizer
