  • Toxicological Profile for Silica
    SILICA 208 CHAPTER 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW Silica has been identified in at least 37 of the 1,854 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (ATSDR 2017). However, the number of sites in which silica has been evaluated is not known. The number of sites in each state is shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1. Number of NPL Sites with Silica Contamination Crystalline Silica • c-Silica is ubiquitous and widespread in the environment, primarily in the form of quartz. Other predominant forms include cristobalite and tridymite. • Sand, gravel, and quartz crystal are the predominant commercial product categories for c-silica. • c-Silica enters environmental media naturally through the weathering of rocks and minerals and anthropogenic releases of c-silica in the form of air emissions (e.g., industrial quarrying and mining, metallurgic manufacturing, power plant emissions) or use in water filtration (quartz sand). SILICA 209 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE • c-Silica undergoes atmospheric transport as a fractional component of particulate emissions, is virtually insoluble in water and generally settles into sediment, and remains unchanged in soil. • c-Silica is present in air and water; therefore, the general population will be exposed to c-silica by inhalation of ambient air and ingestion of water. • Inhalation exposure is the most important route of exposure to c-silica compounds due to the development of adverse effects from inhaled c-silica in occupational settings. • Individuals with potentially high exposures include workers with occupational exposure to c-silica, which occurs during the mining and processing of metals, nonmetals, and coal, and in many other industries.

In recent years, some laboratories have investigated the possibilities of color grading by machine, to provide a more objective procedure. The problems inherent with color grrrriing by machine are discussed in detail by Dr. A. T. Collins in this issue.

  • Toxicological Profile for Silica Released for Public Comment in 2017
    Toxicological Profile for Silica September 2019 SILICA ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SILICA iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines* developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health. The adequacy of information to determine a substance's health
