Intensity of Exposure The risk of developing silicosis is closely linked to the accumulated exposure of an individual to crystalline silica during their working lifetime. Exposure can be calculated as follows: Accumulated silica dose = fraction of respirable dust × percentage of free silica in mg/m3 × number of years of exposure.[1]
