American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1981
At the request of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recently investigated the health of workers at two silica flour mills. Both mills have a long history of failure to maintain workplace concentrations of dust containing free silica below the MSHA exposure standard ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1992
Silicosis is an ancient disease, but with modern understanding of safe levels of exposure, it should be a vanishing disease. Emphasis will be placed on newer concepts in the pathogenesis of the disease and the health effects of low levels of quartz dust in relation to current exposure standards.

AbstractThe purpose of this commentary is to bring the neglected phenomenon of subradiological silicosis and its implications to the attention of readers. We define subradiological silicosis as silicosis detectable on pathological examination of lung tissue but not visible radiologically.

Tubercle, 1934
Summary (1) The essential agent in the causation of true or ‘classical’ silicosis, as distinguished from non-specific pneumoconiosis, is the freshly-cloven silica particle. (2) The pathological process basically consists in the hydration of the silica particle at the expense of the cell protoplasm.

Chest, 1979
Two subjects had silicosis complicated by tuberculosis. In both patients, there was a relapse of the tuberculosis after chemotherapy was discontinued, in one case after 13 years of therapy with isoniazid and p-aminosalicylic acid. It would appear that the risk of tuberculosis in subjects with silicosis persists for life, and the suggestion is made that

Surgical Pathology Clinics
Although silicosis has been an established disease with a recognized cause for more than 100 years, many workers continue to be exposed to silica and new outbreaks of disease continue to occur. This article describes some of the well-established and new exposures, including denim sandblasting, artificial stone cutting, and some forms of "coal worker's ...

SILICOSIS AND SILICOTUBERCULOSIS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1938Within the past few years extensive investigation of the harmful effects of dusts and the comparatively recent recognition of silicosis as a true occupational disease have stimulated the interest of physicians and industrialists toward this important and interesting problem.
