Chronic Hazards:

No known chronic hazards. Not listed by OSHA, NTP or IARC as a carcinogen.  Does not contain asbestos or fiberous zeolite minerals. Crystalline silica was not detected by X-Ray Defraction analysis, but may be present above the notification level of 0.10%. Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. During October 1996, IARC reviewed the literature for polymorphs of crystalline silica and determined that there is suffient evidence in humans for the carcinegenity of inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobolite from occupational sources.
