Comments:
YardRight Tropical Play Sand is an aragonite sand. It
is not mined and does not contain silica dust like many
playsands do. Many playsands are made from crushed rock
which is mined and filled with impurities that should
not be in any crabitat.
Many playsands contain crystalline silica, also known
as quartz. Exposure to crystalline silica dust can cause
lung diseases such as silicosis. Crystalline silica is
a colorless mineral, also called quartz. It is an ingredient
in sand and flint, which are used in making glass, cement,
and concrete.
While the playsand you find in ToysRUs and other places
is a lot less expensive this is one case where quality
of a product far outweighs the cost.
