The agency says silicosis “is caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust” and that “silica is a basic component of soil, sand, granite and most other types of rock and it is used as an abrasive blasting agent.” Another way silica can be present in concrete is when silica fume is added to paving mixtures.

Compliance and Safety for Silica. If you work in a profession that involves crushing asphalt, concrete or rocks (e.g. mining, milling or construction), you’re probably aware of OSHA’s tightening Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica (Table 1 of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1153).The new standard – 50 micrograms per cubic meter with an active level of 25

Silica: Function of Silica in cement is that it imparts strength to the cement. It undergoes chemical reaction with calcium to form dicalcium silicate (C 2 S) and tricalcium silicate (C 3 S). Silica if Present in excess form adds strength to the cement but simultaneously reduces the strength to cement.

Silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO 2), is a group IV metal oxide, which naturally occurs in both crystalline and amorphous forms (i.e. polymorphic; NTP, 2005).The various forms of crystalline silica are: α-quartz, β-quartz, α-tridymite, β-tridymite, α-cristobalite, β-cristobalite, keatite, coesite, stishovite, and moganite (NIOSH, 2002).
