working environment according to local regulations, e.g. in the UK: COSHH Regulations; in Germany:
Gefahrstoffverordnung and TRGS 900. The Occupational Exposure Limit for quartz in Germany is
0.15 mg/m³ for fine dust (MAK). Additional information can be found in our Safety Data Sheet. Please
refer also to national laws and regulations.
