NoMutagenicity: Not AvailableTeratogenicity: Not AvailableReproductive Effects: Not AvailableThis product typically contains crystalline silica (quartz sand) above 0.1% as a naturally occurring impurity. The International Agency forResearch on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that "crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources iscarcinogenic to humans (Group I)." It also noted that carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstance studies, and may bedependent on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs. (See IARC Monographs on the Evaluation ofCarcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68 (1997).) Exposure to respirable silica has also been associated with silicosis, scleroderma, andnephrotoxicity.

NoReproductive Effects: Not AvailableSensitization to product: The product is not a skin/respiratory sensitizer (i.e. contact with this product is not expectedto cause sensitization, based on the available data and the known hazards of the components).This product is not known to contain any components at ≥0.1% that have been shown to cause reproductive toxicity.Therefore, based upon the available data and the known hazards of the components, this product is not expected tobe a reproductive toxin.This product is not known to contain any components at ≥0.1% that have been shown to cause teratogenicity and/orembryotoxicity. Therefore, based upon the available data and the known hazards of the components, this product isnot expected to be a teratogen/embryotoxin.This product contains a component at ≥0.1% that have been shown to cause mutagenicity: titanium dioxide.Therefore, based upon the available data and the known hazards of the components, this product is considered to bea mutagen.This product contains the following chemical(s) at >/0.1% that are listed as a carcinogenic compound: crystallinesilica, quartz (14808-60-7) (Considered to be carcinogenic to humans (group 1) by IARC, (Considered to be A2 byACGIH), and (Known to be a human carcinogen by NTP). Further, NIOSH has identified titanium dioxide as apotential occupational carcinogen. Therefore, this product is considered to be carcinogenic.This product typically contains crystalline silica (quartz sand) above 0.1% as a naturally occurring impurity. TheInternational Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that "crystalline silica inhaled in the form ofquartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group I)." It also noted thatcarcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstance studies, and may be dependent on external factorsaffecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs. (See IARC Monographs on the Evaluation ofCarcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68 (1997).) Exposure to respirable silica has also been associated withsilicosis, scleroderma, and nephrotoxicity. (See Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12 (1994) andAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp 761-765 (1997).)Trace amounts of dioxin conigers, including TCDD have been detected in parts per trillion (ppt). These traceamounts are not believed to be a health risk, but Special Protections and Special Precautions (Section 8) are advised.Methods of transmission may include inhalation, ingestion, or dermal absorption. IARC Monograph Volume 69,1977 concludes that 2,3,7,8-TCDD (a dioxin) is carcinogenic to humans.Section 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONEcotoxicity: No data available.
