Respirable Silica: An Analysis of Recent Advances

Abstract

Prevention and reduction of anthropogenically released greenhouse gasses and respirable particulate matter has enhanced health with environmental monitoring. It has shown exposure to carcinogens. Air quality analysis showed silica, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfuroxides, nitroxides, and ozone were associated with respiratory diseases in urban, residential, street level areas near windows. Moreover, validation with measurements of temperature, humidity, climate change, or energy production and consumption may show more silica associated with public health.
