Special Session 11 Respirable Crystalline Silica e exposure limits, measurements and control measures
Description
Session introduction
Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) exposure has for a long period of
time and is still today an issue all over the world. Measurements of
RCS exposure is crutial to be able to control and decrease the ex-
posures. The exposure limits for RCS is questioned since research
show health effects at exposures lower than many countries set
limits. RCS is found naturally in the Earths crust and exposure
comes from activities within earth, like mining, or when handling
material containing sand or stone. We do not see an end of these
work operations in the near future or at all. Together with the new
sources of RCS exposures from the use of new material, such as
artificial stone work, the RCS exposure will continue to be an issue
for many years to come.
