§ 2307.901.
(A) If a plaintiff in a tort action alleges any injury or loss to person resulting from
exposure to silica or mixed dust as a result of the tortious act of one or more defendants,
in order to maintain a cause of action against any of those defendants based on that
injury or loss, the plaintiff must prove that the conduct of that particular defendant

exposed to silica or mixed dust that was manufactured, supplied, installed, or used
by the defendant in the action and that the plaintiff's exposure to the defendant's
silica or mixed dust was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff's injury or

dust; (2) The proximity of the defendant's silica or mixed dust to the plaintiff when the exposure
to the defendant's silica or mixed dust occurred; (3) The frequency and length of the plaintiff's exposure to the defendant's silica or
mixed dust; (4) Any factors that mitigated or enhanced the plaintiff's exposure to silica or mixed
dust. (C) This section applies only to tort actions that allege any injury or loss to person
