Silica, not sand

New Report Underscores Lung Cancer Risk From Silica

By Elizabeth Mendes
December 10, 2013

A new report, published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, highlights the link between silica and lung cancer. The paper, authored by researchers from the American Cancer Society and Emory University, reviewed recent studies that “provide new information about silica and lung cancer.” They note that the findings underscore what more than 100 other studies conducted to date have shown – that there is “strong and consistent evidence that silica exposure increases lung cancer risk.”
