What are the environmental hazards of silica?
Silicosis is an occupation disease, the incidence and severity of the content and content of silica dust in the air depends on the dust, and the contact time. Long silica dust content in high places, such as mining, foundry, sandblasting, ceramics, refractories and other places of work tend to suffer from the disease. Therefore, in these more dust workplaces, strict labor protection measures are adopted, and a variety of techniques and equipment are used to control the dust content in the workplace to ensure the health of the staff.
Silica dust is very fine, the specific surface area of more than 100m2/g (automatic F-Sorb2400 BET nitrogen adsorption specific surface area tester), can be suspended in the air, if the long-term inhalation of dust containing silica, will suffer from silicosis (formerly known as silicon for silicon, formerly known as silicosis silicosis).
Silica dioxide plays an important role in daily life, production and scientific research, but sometimes it can cause harm to human body
