| 1. | Crystalline silica is also known to cause silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease.
|
| 2. | The inflammatory effects of crystalline silica are apparently mediated by the Nalp3 inflammasome.
|
| 3. | In the body, crystalline silica particles do not dissolve over clinically relevant periods.
|
| 4. | The silicotic nodule represents a specific tissue response to crystalline silica.
|
| 5. | The crystalline silica content of this dust ranged from 3 % to 7 %.
|
| 6. | Faujasite silica is another form of crystalline silica.
|
| 7. | The greatest health risk is the potential to develop silicosis from the long-term exposure to crystalline silica.
|
| 8. | In after-use HTIW crystalline silica crystals are embedded in a matrix composed of other crystals and glasses.
|
| 9. | However, magmas containing less than 58 % SiO 2 are thought to be unlikely to contain crystalline silica.
|
| 10. | NIOSH notified company representatives of these findings and provided reports with recommendations to control exposure to crystalline silica.
