Dust Control Measures in the Construction Industry [PDF]

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2003
Quartz is a human carcinogen and a causative agent of silicosis. Exposure levels often exceed exposure limits in the construction industry. The need for effective control measures is high, but the complex structure of the construction industry, the variability in sources of exposure and the frequent changes of worksite makes it difficult to implement ...

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.

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
