Silica is silicon dioxide with the formula SiO2 and is a crystal with a tetrahedral structure. Silica is formed when silicon is exposed to the oxygen in air. When found in nature, it's most commonly in sand and quartz. Silica is known for its hardness and is used in many things: glass, optical fibers in telecommunications, ceramics, microelectronics as an electronic insulator (because of its high chemical stability), cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste as an abrasive, and as a gel used in aeronautics. Exposure to fine silica dust over a long period of time can be detrimental to health because the dust can lodge itself into the lungs and cause irritation. Eventually, it could cause silicosis, bronchitis, or cancer.
