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.
