• Silicon dioxideRelated: Cutting, mining, and grinding silica-bearing materials can release the particles that cause it.

• Artisanal miningRelated: Drilling and crushing rock without dust controls can expose miners to silica.

• Occupational cancerRelated: Silica-exposed workers face increased lung cancer risk alongside this occupational lung disease.

• FoundryRelated: Dust from silica sand used in molds can create a serious workplace hazard.

• Mine safetyRelated: Mineral processing and hard-rock mining can create silica exposures that require control.

• TalcRelated: Dust from some talc operations may contain crystalline silica, a distinct inhalation hazard.

• Respiratory protectionRelated: Effective dust control and suitable respiratory protection reduce silica inhalation risk.

• CrusherRelated: Crushing silica-bearing rock can create hazardous respirable dust.
