Crystalline silica exposure, radiological silicosis, and lung cancer mortality in diatomaceous earth industry workers.
BACKGROUND The role of silicosis as either a necessary or incidental condition in silica associated lung cancer remains unresolved. To address this issue a cohort analysis of dose-response relations for crystalline silica and lung cancer mortality was conducted among diatomaceous earth workers classified according to the presence or absence of radiological silicosis. METHODS Radiological sili...
متن کاملRelation between exposure to respirable silica dust and silicosis in a tungsten mine in China.
To estimate the quantitative relation between exposure to respirable silica dust and risk of an attack of silicosis, 1151 workers exposed to silica dust and employed from 1958 to 1987 in a tungsten mine in China were investigated. The results showed that the ratio of respirable silica dust concentration to total silica dust concentration was 0.529. Then, the total silica dust concentration in h...
متن کاملAssociation between exposure to crystalline silica and risk of sarcoidosis.
OBJECTIVES The possibility of an association between exposure to silica and autoimmune diseases has recently come under discussion. In the following case-referent study, a cohort exposed to diatomaceous earth and cristobalite provided an opportunity to evaluate such an exposure with reference to sarcoidosis. METHODS The inhabitants of a district served by a single healthcare centre and a hosp...
متن کاملتعیین میزان مواجهه ی شغلی کارگران واحد ماهیچه گیری با گرد و غبار سیلیس کریستالی تنفسی
Introduction: Occupational exposure to crystalline silica increases the risk of lung cancer and restrictive lung disease with extensive fibrosis. Silica dust is a major health hazard in foundry factories. The aim of this study was to determine core making workers’ exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust in a foundry factory. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducte...
متن کاملRespirable Silica Dust Suppression During Artificial Stone Countertop Cutting
PURPOSE To assess the relative efficacy of three types of controls in reducing respirable silica exposure during artificial stone countertop cutting with a handheld circular saw. APPROACH A handheld worm drive circular saw equipped with a diamond segmented blade was fitted with water supply to wet the blade as is typical. The normal wetted-blade condition was compared to (i) wetted-blade plus...
