We clearly have two different interpretations of this and, though I initially thought that the fact that "as dry dust" appears after "hazard classification" indicated that it meant the same hazard classification as dry dust, I am now less sure. The fact that this appears in brackets but also in capital letters is contradictory, but might imply that there is something else that follows, which you have not told us about, and that this is, indeed, about the form of the silica and not about the hazard classification itself. The fact is that silica, because it is so highly absorbent, presents specific hazards when inhaled. |
