International Chemical Safety Cards CRISTOBALITE ICSC: 0809 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS OR WHITECRYSTALS PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 0.05 mg/m3 (respirable dust) (ACGIH 1997). MAK: 0.15 mg/m3; (1996) ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the lungs , resulting in fibrosis (silicosis). This substance is carcinogenic to humans. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: 2230°C Melting point: 1713°C Relative density (water = 1): 2.3 Solubility in water: none ENVIRONMENTAL DATA N O T E S Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
