GHS SAFETY DATA SHEET CONCRETE Industrial hygiene experts have studied long-term daily use of silica sands in sand-blasting and other occupations generating extreme volumes of dust. They have determined that long term, daily exposure to high concentrations of blasting sand dust causes damage to the lungs, may causes silicosis, and may cause cancer. Do not use for sand blasting. There are extensive OSHA precautions required for sand blasting. 2.2c Pictograms 2.
