Carcinogenicity The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined the respirable crystalline silica is a probable human carcinogen (Group 1). The National Toxicology Program classifies respirable crystalline silica as a substance which may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. A risk assessment done on this product showed that no increase cancer risk would be expected from the customary use of this product over a person's lifetime.
California Proposition 65: This product contains some crystalline silica, as do most natural minerals, however, exposures to respirable crystalline silica in the normal use of this product is below the level posing a cancer risk, therefore labeling is not required.
