YES! - Crystalline silica is a basic component of soil, sand, granite, and many other minerals. Crystalline silica has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal. The respirable silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs' ability to take in oxygen. There is no cure for silicosis. Since silicosis affects lung function, it makes one more susceptible to lung infections
like tuberculosis. REF: http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/crystalline-factsheet.pdf
