ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PROLONGED INHALATION OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA MAY RESULT IN SILICOSIS, A
DISABLING PULMONARY FIBROSIS CHARACTERIZED BY FIBROTIC CHANGES AND MILI-
ARY NODULES IN THE LUNGS, A DRY COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, EMPHYSEMA,
DECREASED CHEST EXPANSION AND INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO TUBERCULOSIS.
IN ADVANCED STAGES, LOSS OF APPETITE, PLEURITIC PAIN, AND TOTAL INCAPA-
CITY TO WORK. ADVANCED SILICOSIS MAY RESULT IN DEATH DUE TO CARDIAC
FAILURE OR DESTRUCTION OF LUNG TISSUE. CRYSTALLINE SILICA IS CLASSIFIED
AS GROUP 2A "PROBABLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS" BY IARC AND "SUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE" OF CARCINOGENICITY BY THE NTP.
