Is soapstone dust dangerous
751 Views 133 Likes
Some soapstone contains silica, which can cause silicosis when inhaled. This should likewise be avoided, but is not as serious a hazard as asbestos. Granite, for instance, contains a lot of silica, but it may be carved safely if proper precautions are followed. Talc (steatite) is still used for “talcum” (body) powder.
