Carcinogenicity
In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica
inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However in making the
overall evaluation, IARC noted that "carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial
circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the
crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its
polymorphs." (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to
humans, Silica, silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) Risk of
cancer cannot be excluded with prolonged exposure.
IARC Monographs. Overall Evaluation of Carcinogenicity
Crystalline silica (Quartz) (CAS 14808-60-7) 1 Carcinogenic to humans.
