The structure of volcanic cristobalite in relation to its toxicity; relevance for the variable crystalline silica hazard

BACKGROUND: Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) continues to pose a risk to human health worldwide. Its variable toxicity depends on inherent characteristics and external factors which influence surface chemistry. Significant population exposure to RCS occurs during volcanic eruptions, where ashfall...
