Silica, Crystalline (Respirable Size)
RoC Background Document for Silica, Crystalline (Respirable Size) The αQuartz structure is trigonal. Within it, the mean SiO distance is nm and the mean OO distance is nm (Florke and Martin 1993). It is stable up to 573ºC and, above this temperature, converts to βQuartz (Deer et al. 1966). The different polymorphs have ...
