A study of industrial sand workers in North America showed increasing risk of silicosis and lung cancer with increasing exposure to respirable silica. In Chinese workers at metal mines and pottery factories, long-term exposure to silica dust increased the mortality rate due to respiratory diseases, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Crystalline silica (silicon dioxide) has long been recognized as an occupational hazard. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimated in 2003 that over 2 million workers were potentially exposed to crystalline silica dust in general industry, construction and maritime industries.

Initial hazard assessments identified exposure to crystalline silica during hydraulic fracturing as the most significant known health hazard to workers and this has been the focus of the NIOSH study to date. Crystalline silica, in the form of sand ("frac sand"), plays a major role in the hydraulic fracturing process.

In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer determined that crystalline silica was a human carcinogen but noted inconsistencies in the epidemiology. There are few exposure-response analyses. The authors examined lung cancer mortality among 4,626 industrial sand workers, estimating expos …

WHAT CAN WORKERS DO TO PREVENT SILICOSIS? Respirable crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, a sometimes fatal lung disease. Silica is the second most common mineral in the earth's crust and is a major component of sand, rock, and mineral ores. Worker exposures can occur in a wide range of indus tries such as construction, mining, foundry
