other minerals and rocks. Exposure to
excessive amount of such dust can cause:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability
to breathe), including chronic bronchitis,
silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from
exposure to silica. These diseases may be
fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC* */

Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with
dust, mist and fumes.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders
wear appropriate respiratory protection such
as dust masks designed to filter out
microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR
