to humans” by the IARC, and respirable forms of crystalline silica are listed as substances that “may reasonably
be anticipated to be carcinogens” by the National Toxicology Program. The IARC listing is based on the
determination that there is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the
form of quartz from occupational exposures.
Epidemiology studies cited by IARC give indications of increased risk for lung cancer from inhaled crystalline
silica (quartz) resulting from occupational exposure. Studies involving heavy industrial exposure to silica in
granite and foundry workers, brick factories and sandblasting produced increased levels of protein and enzymes
in urine, which is indicative of kidney damage.
