Silica is a mineral compound with the formula SiO 2. This very common mineral has many different forms and is most easily recognized in nature as the mineral quartz. Silica is actually silicon dioxide. Silicon is the 7th most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, after oxygen.
called silica dust). SILICA DUST AND CANCER Silica dust is harmful when it's breathed in; it is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, so you can be breathing it without knowing. This can lead to silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney disease, and lung cancer. It is estimated that each year 230 people develop lung cancer ...
Quarry dust which is generally considered as a waste material can be used as an economical alternative to the river sand since it has become a meager construction material and also highly pricey. Fly ash, which is the residue from coal-fired power plants, when used as partial replacement of cement in concrete, results in reduction of cement …

Highlights Silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) are normally used in Self compacting concrete (SCC). Since these materials are costly, SCC was developed utilizing a cheap waste material, namely quarry dust powder (QDP). Mechanical properties of SCC with QDP were better than those of SCC with SF or FA. The use of QDP in SCC …
Silica Dust Control Measures. Exposures above the PEL must be controlled first by engineering controls (e.g., wet cutting, HEPA filtered local exhaust ventilation, etc.) and work practice controls. If those are infeasible or insufficient to reduce exposure below the PEL, then respiratory protection must be used. ...
