There is a growing concern for individuals who fabricate granite and quartz. Recent studies have shown that particles known as silica dust are found in these materials. If these particles are inhaled, it can be extremely harmful to people in the workplace. These little particles could get lodged into the lung tissue causing serious discomfort. Being exposed could leave people susceptible to various lung cancers such as Silicosis. If you work with materials like quartz and granite, we urge you to use the necessary safety equipment to limit your chances of this lung cancer.
This type of cancer has several forms, which include chronic, accelerated and acute silicosis. Living with Silicosis can be intense with symptoms worsening overtime. This is an irreversible disease, just like any form of lung cancer. There is not much that can be done to limit the pain or suffering you may experience which shows why seeking medical attention is time sensitive. Silicosis causes scar tissue in the lungs which affects an individual’s breathing, leaving them with significant respiratory impairment. The increasing damaged lung tissue due to Silicosis, is more susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections. This leaves individuals at a higher risk for developing respiratory infections.
