• Description:
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), commissioned KTA-Tator, Inc. to conduct a study entitled 'Evaluation of Substitute Materials for Silica Sand in Abrasive Blasting'. In conjunction with NIOSH, a project design protocol was developed to evaluate the characteristics that influence abrasive performance from a surface preparation viewpoint and the potential or worker exposures to airborne contaminants. The protocol was used to evaluate 13 generic types of abrasives, including: coal slag; coal slag with dust suppressant; crushed glass; garnet; nickel slag; olivine; silica sand; silica sand with dust suppressent; specular hematite; staurolite; and steel grit.
