Exposure to Crystalline Silica Inhalation Among Construction Workers: A Probabilistic Risk Analysis (original) (raw)

Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT Crystalline silica and its presence in dust generated during various construction activities may pose a health hazard to construction workers. In this article, the occupational exposure to crystalline silica and the related long-term health (cancer and non-cancer) risks among construction workers from five different trades (activities) were evaluated using a probabilistic approach. The predicted 95th percentile of the excess lifetime cancer risk and hazard quotients for exposure to crystalline silica ranged from 4.5× 10− 5 to 1.2× 10− 4, ...
