TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION |
|
11.1 |
ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY |
FILLITE HAS A TYPICAL PARTICLE SIZE OF 20-300 MICRONS AND IS THEREFORE CLASSIFIED AS A NUISANCE DUST. CONESPHERES CONTAIN CRYSTALLINE SILICA AT TYPICAL LEVELS OF 1.5% ALTHOUGH ALL CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL IS BOUND INTO THE GLASSY SHELL. CARE SHOULD THEREFORE BE TAKEN TO AVOID MILLING OR GRINDING THE MATERIAL WHICH MAY GENERATE RESPIRABLE PARTICLES. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA IS CONSIDERED A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF SILICOSIS THAT MAY LEAD TO LUNG CANCER. THE NATURE OF CENOSPHERES HOWEVER MEAN THEY ARE CONSIDERED HARMLESS. |
