Human Toxicology
Silica gel is a synthetic amorphous silica not to be confused with crystalline silica.
Epidemiological studies indicate low potential for adverse health effects. In the activated form, silica gel
acts as a desiccant and can cause a drying irritation of the mucous membranes and skin in cases of severe
exposure. Multisorb Technologies Inc. knows of no medical conditions that are abnormally aggravated by
exposure to silica gel. The primary route of entry is inhalation of dust.
Section 12 – Ecological Information
Not known to have any adverse effect on the aquatic environment. Silica gel is insoluble and non-toxic.
