Silicosis: cluster in sandblasters--Texas, and occupational surveillance for silicosis.
In November 1988, a physician in west Texas reported three cases of silicosis in sandblasters to the Ector County Health Department (ECHD). One of the workers, a 34-year-old man, subsequently died with acute silicotic alveolar proteinosis. All three workers had been employed at a facility that sandblasted oil-field drilling pipes. Following the physician's report, in January 1989, the ECHD and ...

The recent finding of cases of silicosis among jade workers in Hong Kong points to this disease being an occupational hazard. The source was found to be the silica flour that was added in a polishing process. Five cases are described together with the results of environmental investigation in a workplace. In three cases the disease was of early onset, rapidly progressive, and presented the feat...
متن کاملLiposomes in silicosis investigations.
The effects of quartz and sodium metasilicate on liposomes were studied in order to understand the mechanism of silicosis. 8-Hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid was tested for its in situ silicosis-prevention capacity. Two types of liposomes--(A) those incorporating cholesterol and (B) those without cholesterol--were used. The tests consisted of measuring permeability changes caused by the above-m...
متن کاملSilicosis in barium miners.
Four men who mined barytes in Scotland and who developed pneumoconiosis are described. Three developed progressive massive fibrosis, from which two died; and one developed a nodular simple pneumoconiosis after leaving the industry. The radiological and pathological features of the men's lungs were those of silicosis and high proportions of quartz were found in two of them post mortem. The quart...
متن کاملAcute Silicosis
A QUARTER of the earth's crust is composed of silicon, so it is not surprising that the inhalation of dust has been recognised for centuries as a cause of shortness of breath in miners and stone operatives. In 1649 Dimerbrook (Collins, 1915) described chest rigidity associated with dyspncea in the granite workers of the Carpathians, who were themselves painfully aware of the occupational hazard...
