Silica—The Next Environmental Issue
Like a floodlight with a bad electrical connection, the issue of silica has been flickering for major attention for the past 2 or 3 years. Although an occupational hazard and known killer since the 1960s, silica is again gaining popularity with the trial lawyers and, as a result, is having somewhat of an impact on the insurance industry.

Impacts of silica mining
Health Effects Crystalline silica is a human carcinogen. Workers are at particular risk given direct and long-term exposure. The mining, transport, processing, and use of silica sand in the fracking process for natural gas create the air pollutants PM 2.5 and respirable crystalline silica. Respirable crystalline silica can cause major problems ...

The Hidden Environmental Toll of Mining the World's Sand
The Stockholm Environment Institute concluded that the mining lowered river levels by more than 3 feet, while contributing to both coastal erosion and an invasion of saltwater into the delta, where it was poisoning rice fields. Ironically, much of the sand was being used to maintain coastal defenses and raise delta roads above flood levels.
