Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) Exposure Monitoring & Testing

Crystalline silica, found naturally in granite and many other minerals, is released during aggressive abrasion. Inhaling airborne mineral dust over time can lead to serious health issues such as pneumoconiosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and lung fibrosis known as silicosis.

Employees working with natural or man-made stone materials are at high risk of RCS exposure during activities like chipping, sanding, drilling, or cutting. RCS exposure is also common in other industries such as smelting, ceramics, and tile manufacturing.
