Review on role of NLRP3 inflammasome in pathogenesis of silicosis

环境与职业医学, 2022
Silicosis is one of the most common forms of pneumoconiosis globally. Workers who engage in mining, construction, ceramics, and many other industries have a high risk of developing silicosis. Chronic and repeated inhalation of free silica (SiO2) dust (

Grain charging in protoplanetary discs [PDF]

, 2011
Recent work identified a growth barrier for dust coagulation that originates in the electric repulsion between colliding particles. Depending on its charge state, dust material may have the potential to control key processes towards planet formation such

VX-765 attenuates silica-induced lung inflammatory injury and fibrosis by modulating alveolar macrophages pyroptosis in mice

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Silicosis is a diffuse fibrotic lung disease in which excessive inflammatory responses are triggered by silica exposure. Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory mode of programmed cell death, is mediated by gasdermin and may play a pivotal role in the development

Dust Control in Rock Drilling [PDF]

American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1940
THE importance of silicosis as an occupational disease has been demonstrated in many industries. Such investigations have shown rock drilling in hard-rock mining and other drilling operations to be hazardous, even including open drilling in quarries, road construction, and building excavation.
