Since crystalline silica is associated with both cancer and non-cancer adverse health effects, the study also sought to conduct a risk characterisation for both these end-points in the communities surrounding the TSFs and to assess the possible need for a non-occupational interim silica limit, specifically for South Africa. 2. Methods2.1. TSFs
Mowcop silica is situated about 60km east of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa with easy access to and from the N4 highway. With expertise of more than 20 years in the silica and aggregate industry, Mowcop Silica is successful in producing large quantities of pure quality silica and aggregates.
Background: Unlike occupational silica exposures, the association between non-occupational silica exposures and adverse health effects is not well researched, despite its occurrence in communities close to dust-generating sources such as tailings storage facilities (TSFs). Recent studies have shown that communities surrounding TSFs …
