Silicosis Health Screening Program SafeWork SA
Mineral sources of silica are abundant and include quartz, granite, sandstone, slate and sand. Natural stone such as granite typically contains around 30 per cent silica, however artificial stone (also known as engineered, reconstituted or manufactured stone, and quartz conglomerate) can have silica concentrations of more than 90 per cent [2].

Screening Assessment for the Challenge
Measurements of quartz concentrations are not commonly reported in the literature owing to the difficulty in separating the silica contributions of quartz from other sources and the slow rate of quartz dissolution; for example a quartz particle 0.23 mm in radius would be reduced to 0.22 mm after 100 000 years (Schulz and White 1999).

Difference Between Silica and Quartz Compare the
Feb 23, 2012 Silica vs Quartz . Silicon is the element with atomic number 14, and it is also in the group 14 of the periodic table just below carbon. It is shown by the symbol Si. Its electron configuration is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 2. Silicon can remove four electrons and form a +4 charged cation, or it can share these electrons to form four covalent bonds. .

Silica
Silica is also available as a silicate glass (in frits ). Pure silica minerals (like quartz) have high melting points. In ceramic bodies and glazes other oxides are added to complement it, they form silicates with it or occupy the network between particles of quartz. In the latter case silica is considered a 'filler' (e.g. porcelain clay bodies).
