Sociodemographic profile, work practices, and disease awareness among stone mine workers having silicosis from Central Rajasthan

Lung India, 2023
Background and Objectives: Silicosis continues to pose an important health hazard among workers having occupational exposure to stone dust. Several studies have addressed clinical presentation, radiographic and pulmonary function abnormalities in workers

Assessment of Diesel Engine Exhaust Levels in an Underground Mine Before and After Implementing Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems

Clean Technologies
Diesel-powered machinery is the primary energy source in underground mining, exposing workers to hazardous diesel exhaust emissions. This study evaluates occupational exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2) at an ...

Systematic review of the epidemiological evidence of associations between quantified occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica and the risk of silicosis and lung cancer

Frontiers in Public Health
Introduction Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) has been associated with both silicosis and lung cancer, but no systematic review (SR) specifically focused on exposure-response relationships has been published for these diseases.

Activation of Sirtuin3 by honokiol ameliorates alveolar epithelial cell senescence in experimental silicosis via the cGAS-STING pathway

Redox Biology
Background Silicosis, characterized by interstitial lung inflammation and fibrosis, poses a significant health threat. ATII cells play a crucial role in alveolar epithelial repair and structural integrity maintenance.

Lipid characteristics of lung tissue in silicosis rat model were studied based on lipid metabolomics.

Toxicology Letters, 2023
Silicosis is a common occupational disease caused by the long-term inhalation of large amounts of silica dust. Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the progression of silicosis, but its contributing mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study

N6‐Methyladenosine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Emerging Regulator of Pathogenesis and a Novel Therapeutic Frontier

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine associated with an imbalance in intestinal homeostasis. m6A‐modifying enzymes, consisting of m6A writers, erasers and readers, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of IBD by affecting four intestinal barriers, including the intestinal mechanical ...

A Brief Review of Silicosis in the United States

, 2010
Silicosis may be defined as the disease resulting from chronic occupational exposure to silica dust. Silica is primarily composed of quartz dust and has been classified since 2000 as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. government.

Silicosis in a housewife

Saudi Medical Journal, 2003
Silicosis is an occupational respiratory disease caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust. We report the case of silicosis in a 50-year-old woman that presented with pulmonary fibrosis and later developed pulmonary tuberculosis. Her condition is believed to be due to inhalation of dust produced by scrubbing a silica rich surface during ...

Toward Silica‐Free Compliance: A Low‐Viscosity Sample Pretreatment Methodology for Crystalline Quartz Quantification in Viscous Pastes

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 ...
