Silica: crystalline, quartz (14808-60-7) 
1 - Carcinogenic to humans 
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified  “silica dust, crystalline, in the form of quartz or cristobalite” as 
carcinogenic to humans (group 1). However these warnings refer to crystalline silica dusts and do not apply to solid activated carbon containing 
crystalline silica as a naturally occuring, bound impurity. As such, we have not classified this product as a carcinogen in accordance with the US 
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR §1910.1200) but recommmend that users avoid inhalation of product in a dust form.
