Answer:

lungs

Explanation:

Inhaling silica causes permanent damage to the lungs and can lead to death.

When people inhale crystalline silica, the tissue present in the lungs reacts and develope fibrotic nodules. It also scars the lung tissue around the trapped silica particles. If these fibrotic nodules grow large, breathing becomes difficult.

Breathing in crystalline silica dust can cause a severe even fatal case called silicosis. When silica enters into the lungs, it causes the formation of scar tissue and makes it difficult for the lungs to take oxygen. There is no cure to silicosis.

Therefore, Inhaling crystalline silica affects the lungs.
