The Health Risk of Breathing in Silica Dust<\/h2>\n

Silica is a natural substance found in most rocks, sand, clay, and in products such as bricks and concrete. Some of the dust generated is known as respirable crystalline silica (RCS). This dust is invisibly fine, can reach deep inside the lungs, and can cause permanent lung damage before symptoms develop. Significant exposure to RCS can cause silicosis, which is irreversible and may continue to worsen even after exposure stops. Exposure can also cause other serious diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.<\/p>\n

Silicosis<\/h2>\n

The scarring of the lung tissue caused by RCS causes a loss of lung function, usually over a period of years. In the early disease stages, there are often no symptoms. However, shortness of breath can develop which can eventually impact the ability to walk even short distances.<\/p>\n

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)<\/h2>\n

COPD is a long-term illness that develops gradually over several years. The lungs are permanently damaged making it difficult to breathe.<\/p>\n

High-risk occupations<\/h2>\n

These include quarrying, slate works, foundries, potteries, stone working, construction (when cutting or breaking stone, concrete, or brick), and industries using silica flour to manufacture goods.<\/p>\n

In some parts of Australia, one in four stone workers have silicosis because of silica dust.<\/p>\n
