Published September 2022

Silica is one of the most abundant minerals on earth, and exposure to silica dust has been identified as a risk factor for many SARDs, including SS, RA, SLE, and AAV.

Individuals working in agriculture, mills, drilling, painting, and textiles have been identified to have a greater risk of developing AAV disease.

Multiple case reports have shown that continuous exposure to silica increases the risk of positive ANCA. Several studies have described cases of silica exposure and AAV.
