25 Μαρ 2023 · Due to the resurgence of silicosis in numerous countries, the review assessed the effectiveness of dust control measures in protecting workers against exposure to respirable crystalline silica and identified strategies to increase the use of dust control measures and respirators.
1 Δεκ 2021 · Highlights. •. The relationship between silica exposure and the risk of lung cancer previously has been established. •. There is a dose-response relationship between silica exposure and the risk of lung cancer. •. Policymakers can provide programs to reduce the exposure with silica in the workplace and outdoors. Abstract. Background.
4 Νοε 2016 · We have shown, through this meta-analysis that the risk of lung cancer is higher in workers exposed to crystalline silica dust but the exact mechanism of carcinogenicity in human beings are yet to be determined. Three mechanisms have been proposed based on experimental studies in animals.
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.

21 Ιουν 2023 · Silicosis and silica dust exposure increase the risk of tuberculosis. Therefore, individuals with long-time silica exposure, like mine workers, should be routinely considered for both silicosis and tuberculosis screening programs.
1 Ιουν 2023 · Silicosis is a preventable occupational lung disease caused by inhaled silica dust. Solutions to prevent silicosis ranging from engineering controls to respirator use have been validated for nearly a century, but many workers are still at-risk of this preventable disease.
