	The hazard is from breathing particulates = fine dust. Silicosis is a lung disease caused by extensive exposure to breathable/respirable silica in the workplace. Lung cancer and kidney disease are also associated with chronic exposure. OSHA standards were updated 2016. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27017634 https://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/ Studies are compiled in brief at toxnet: https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+7168 World Health Organization review of crystalline silica: https://www.who.int/ipcs/publications/cicad/en/cicad24.pdf __________________ incus opella

	Further, all suppliers of materials have materials safety data sheets exactly for this purpose. Telephone? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
