The Council received an enquiry from an MP on behalf of a constituent concerning a possible relationship between exposure to silica and asbestos and development of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)- associated vasculitis. Reviews of the available scientific literature for these issues are given in this report.
- Given the current evidence, IIAC does not consider that ANCA-associated vasculitis associated with silica exposure meets the criteria for prescription under the Industrial Injuries Scheme.
29.There is much less evidence relating asbestos exposures to ANCA-associated vasculitis and that also is not sufficient to meet the criteria for prescription under the Industrial Injuries Scheme.
