Potential Health Effects
Inhalation
Acute (Immediate)
•
Exposure to dust may cause mild respiratory irritation. Acute Silicosis can occur with
exposures to very high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica over a very short
time period, sometimes as short as a few months. The symptoms of acute silicosis
include progressive shortness of breath, fever, cough and weight loss.
Chronic (Delayed)
•
Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation. Repeated
and prolonged exposure to crystalline silica containing materials may cause irritation
and/or lung damage silicosis, fibrosis, inflammation, cancer.
