Overview
Silicosis is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica, including quartz, cristobalite, and trimidite.
Causes
Silicosis is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica, including quartz, cristobalite, and trimidite. Of all three, quartz is most abundant and is frequently associated with the development of silicosis upon prolonged exposure and/or exposure at extremely high concentrations.[1]
