Research progress on role of programmed cell death in silicosis and its possible mechanisms
环境与职业医学, 2023 Silicosis is a common occupational disease caused by long-term inhalation of large amounts of free SiO2 dust and deposition in lung tissues, characterized by the formation of silicon nodules and diffuse fibrosis of lung tissues.

Inflation, Race, and Legislation-The Erosion in the Real Value of Monetary Compensation for Miners' Occupational Lung Disease in South Africa, 1973-2024. [PDF]
Am J Ind MedABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crystalline quartz, the most common crystalline silica polymorph, is widely found in industrial products. It is of high regulatory relevance, because its fine fraction, a form of respirable crystalline silica, is classified as an occupational carcinogen, with product‐content thresholds (e.g., 0.1% (w/w) in the European Union) and stringent ...
