Maximum allowable concentration (MAC) values for amorphous silica dust have not been identified in the Polish legal regulations up-to-date. In this work the authors review values of allowable (recommended) amorphous silica dust concentrations in other countries. Data on other types of amorphous silica (natural and synthetic) used in industry as well as data on health effects of exposure to these types of dust are presented. The work encompasses 42 entries in the references and one Table which includes the following proposed MAC values: Non-calcinate diatomaceous earth (diatomite) and synthetic silica: Total dust--10 mg/m3 Respirable dust--2 mg/m3 Calcinate diatomaceous earth (diatomite) and fused silica (vitreous silica): Total dust--2 mg/m3 Respirable dust--1 mg/m3.
波兰现行法律法规中尚未确定无定形二氧化硅粉尘的最大允许浓度（MAC）值。在这项工作中，作者回顾了其他国家允许（推荐）的无定形二氧化硅粉尘浓度值。文中还给出了工业中使用的其他类型无定形二氧化硅（天然和合成）的数据以及接触这些类型粉尘对健康影响的数据。该著作参考文献中有42条记录和一个表格，表格中列出了以下建议的MAC值：非煅烧硅藻土（硅藻土）和合成二氧化硅：总粉尘——10毫克/立方米，可吸入粉尘——2毫克/立方米；煅烧硅藻土（硅藻土）和熔融石英（玻璃态二氧化硅）：总粉尘——2毫克/立方米，可吸入粉尘——1毫克/立方米。
