The biggest problem I had with silica control in our dental school was 
cleaning out the local ventilation system. I had them get the small HEPA 
vacuum (the real kind) and that made a big improvement.

Sampling for silica is not that complicated, the catch sometimes - 
depending upon the lab used - is properly reporting the results !!
 
P.S....................I can help you out with both.................

" Our Dental School is seeking information from others schools where 
dental molds/ impressions are made.  Has anyone sampled for silica? 
Material in use here may contain substantial amount of  silica."
