from occupational sources is listed by the International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) and National Toxicology
Program (NTP) as a lung carcinogen. Prolonged expo s ure to
respirable crystalline silica has been known to cause silicosis, a
lung disease, which may be disabling. While there may be a
factor of individual susceptibility to a given exposure to
respirable silica dust, the risk of contracting silicosis and the
severity of the disease is clearly related to the amount of dust

12.1 ECOTOXICITY
Normal dilution of this product to drains, sewers, septic systems
This product contains Crystalline Silica, Quartz and may also contain trace amounts of other
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
A2 - Suspected human carcinogen.
A3 - Animal carcinogen.
A4 - Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
2A - The agent (mixture) is probably carcinogenic to humans; there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in
humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
2B - The agent (mixture) is possibly carcinogenic to humans; there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in
humans in the absence of sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
3 - The agent (mixture, exposure circumstance) is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
