12 Ιουλ 2023 · Background: Silicosis, a severe lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust, predominantly affects workers in industries such as mining and construction, leading to a significant global public health challenge.
18 Μαρ 2022 · Ongoing failures by governments, industries and employers to tackle the health risks of silica dust, with sufficient and sustained determination, have resulted in millions of workers continuing to be exposed to dusty conditions.
17 Μαΐ 2024 · Protecting young workers from silica dust exposure is crucial to prevent the onset of silicosis in their later years and to reduce the disease burden among older workers. Silicosis is an occupational lung disease because of exposure to silica dust in the workplace.
13 Φεβ 2024 · Silica dust can be released in the air when working. Workers exposed to RCS can develop serious lung disease. Overview. Silica dust is made up of small particles that can become airborne during work activities with materials that contain silica. Particles that are small enough to be inhaled deep into the lungs are called respirable.
25 Ιουν 2024 · The prevalence rate of obstructive pulmonary ventilation dysfunction (FEV1/FVC < 70%) was 2.3% in 2064 silica dust exposed workers. The prevalence of restrictive pulmonary ventilation dysfunction (FVC/Pre < 80%) was 8.1%.
18 Σεπ 2022 · There are new cancer links with silica, including women and nonsmokers with excess lung cancer; excess lung cancer among patients with CWP; children’s dust exposure in small-scale gold mining; and excess lung diseases and pulmonary cancer among railroad workers.
15 Νοε 2022 · High exposure to silica dust, combined with working 12-hour shifts, puts workers at a higher risk of pulmonary toxicity, including silicosis, in the following years. Several studies reported the association between occupational exposures to silica and decreased pulmonary function parameters in workers with [ 8 ] and without radiographic ...
