7 Page 7/7 National regulations: (Contd. of page 6) Waterhazard class: For Germany: Water hazard class 1 (VwVwS Germany , Anhang 4): slightly hazardous for water. Other regulations, limitations and prohibitive regulations For UK: Detailed reviews of the scientific evidence on the health effects of crystalline silica have been published by HSE (Health and Safety Executive, UK) in the Hazard Assessment Documents EH75/4 (2002) and EH75/5 (2003). The HSE points out on its website that Workers exposed to fine dust containing quartz are at risk of developing a chronic and possibly severely disabling lung disease known as "silicosis". In addition to silicosis, there is now evidence that heavy and prolonged workplace exposure to dust containing crystalline silica can lead to an increased risk of lung cancer. The evidence suggests that an increased risk of lung cancer is likely to occur only in those workers who have developed silicosis Chemical safety assessment: A Chemical Safety Assessment has not been carried out.
