Abstract: (1222 Views)
Exposure to crystalline silica can lead to obstructive airway and parenchymal lung diseases, the most important of which is silicosis. Silicosis is primarily an occupational disease caused by long-term exposure to free crystalline silica in silica-related work environments. Environmental exposure to silica may also occur through ambient air, which is particularly important in cities and villages near workshops and factories that emit silica due to their operations. Several studies in recent years have reported exposure to free crystalline silica in the open air around factories and related silica-related industries. This study emphasizes the importance and necessity of developing standards for the release of free crystalline silica into the open air around associated industries, as an environmental pollutant.
