Scarring Exposures: Engineering controls capture silica dust particles, 2019-10-01
Crystalline silica is one of the most common minerals found worldwide in the earth’s crust. It is frequently used in many industrial processes such as mining, quarrying and stone-cutting. Breathing air contaminated with crystalline silica particles can cause serious respiratory and lung diseases. When workers cut, grind or drill materials that contain crystalline silica, they are exposed to small airborne silica dust particles. These processes create a freshly fractured silica dust with sharp edges that create a serious problem. Silica dust particles from .01 to . . .
