In 1997 a Working Group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer changed an earlier classification of crystalline silica as a human carcinogen from Group 2A to Group 1, though commenting that the carcinogenicity might vary with industrial circumstances and depend on additional factors affecting biological activity, including the distribution of its polymorphs.Objective: We aimed to determine whether pure quartz exposure uncomplicated by the presence of other contaminating carcinogens, as experienced by workers in the production of high-grade industrial sand, was causally related to an increased risk of lung cancer.
