These products include cleansers, cosmetics, art clays and glazes, pet litter, talcum powder, caulk, and paint. Which cancers are associated with exposure to crystalline silica? Exposure of workers to respirable crystalline silica is associated with elevated rates of lung cancer. The strongest link between human lung cancer and exposure to respirable crystalline silica has been seen in studies of quarry and granite workers and workers involved in ceramic, pottery, refractory brick, and certain earth industries.“ |
