Industrial implementation of processes to render RCS safer in manufacturing processes (SILICOAT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

"In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) in the form of quartz or crystobalite from occupational sources as carcinogenic for humans (category 1). Crystalline silica is an essential raw material for the production of virtually all the goods of everyday life. As a consequence, there can be significant amounts of RCS in the enviro ...
