Content	Problem Quartz is used as a material in an abundance of work processes in various sectors of industry. Released as dust, it is a source of exposure to fine quartz dust. Despite technological advances and considerable efforts to reduce dust, exposure to respirable fine quartz dust today is still a signifi- cant problem. Silicosis still ranks among the occu- pational diseases with high annual numbers of reported suspected and recognized cases. In view of these facts, there was a need for a general review of the quartz situation. The wealth of available exposure data was to be processed if possible according to work area and activity in order to reveal trends in exposure over the last few years and to support the health protection activities of the social accident insurance institu- tions. Companies can also refer to the available statistically evaluated measured data in order to compare it to their own data gained during risk assessment. Activities Health risks and occupational diseases; sampling and analysis methods; limit values and provisions; sampling and analysis methods; sources, use and occurrence of quartz; and measured values from over three decades in branches of industry and work areas were brought together in a working party of the social accident insurance institutions. BGIA-Report 8/2006e This information formed the basis for the BGIA Report 8/2006e “Exposure to quartz at the workplace”. The 104,000 average shift values for quartz and fine dust listed in the exposure descriptions were obtained from about 8,900 firms according to branches and work area by resorting to the quality-assured measurement system for exposure assessment (MGU).
