The effect of silica exposure on the risk of lung cancer: A meta‐analysis

Abstract: Lung cancer is an incurable disease with an increased mortality rate caused by the inhalation of dust‐containing crystalline silica particles. Silica exposure is one of the most important occupational hazards in the world. Whether the association between silica exposure and lung cancer is because of the fibrotic process or to the effect of respirable silica itself is unclear. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified silica as a human lung carcinogen. The opinion of lung cancer is a que… Show more

“…Crystalline silica exposure is ubiquitous in the environment, occurring not only in natural events such as volcanic eruptions and sandstorms but also in various industries such as ore mining, stone processing, glass manufacturing, and steel forging. It is estimated that the figures of workers exposed to industrial crystalline silica in India, China, Europe, and the U.S. are 11.5 million [ 2 ], 23 million, 2 million, and 1.7 million [ 3 ], respectively. The adverse health effects due to silica exposure have become a growing public health concern in recent years [ 4 ].…”
