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]
