While exact data is not available, some estimate it is responsible for around 1,000 deaths per year in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose working on or near silica dust often do not realise the hazard that they face. One reason is that particles of dust are so tiny that they are literally invisible. RCS is smaller than the width of a single human hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, the amount you can safely inhale on a daily basis is many times smaller than a single penny.
