11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute effects
Not classified.
Eye contact
May cause eye irritation.
Skin contact
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion
No further relevant information available.
Inhalation
May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Heavy exposure to freshly formed mica dust may cause acute reactions. Respirable mica dust can be inhaled and deposited in the lungs and is toxic to lungs and mucous membranes.
Toxicity and irritation
Carcinogenicity:
Mica in respirable size is known to be carcinogenic.
Chronic symptoms:
Chronic overexposure to mica dust may cause fibrotic pneumoconiosisto develop. Where pneumoconiosis due to overexposure to mica has been demonstrated, signs and symptoms resemble those of silicosis, but X-ray patterns differ.
