Abstract Respirable crystalline silica dust generated during stone crushing operations has been linked to chronic lung disease and increased risk of tuberculosis. In India, most stone crushing mills operate without any dust control or containment systems. This nvestigation in the Khurda District of Orissa demonstrated a reduction in respirable particulate mass following the application of a ...

A recent study in India of over a hundred stone crushing workers showed that 48% had TB alone or in combination with silicosis. In fact, TB is the most common cause of death in those with silicosis, The keynote speaker at the conference indicated that reducing worker exposure to respirable silica would reduce TB incidence among those exposed.

Engineered stone is also known as reconstituted, artificial or manufactured stone, and quartz conglomerate. It is made up of composite stone bound together by resins, and contains at least 80 per cent crystalline silica. High levels of crystalline silica may also be found in some natural stone products.

Nov 12, 2018 There are, however, many trades and workplaces in the manufacturing sector where exposure to silica poses a significant risk. Most of these occur wherever stone or soil is impacted and creates dust, especially when quartz is present. It takes only a very small amount of airborne silica dust to be dangerous.

Dec 08, 2018 To our knowledge, this is the first intervention to reduce lead or silica dust exposures in artisanal small-scale mining. Previously, we have demonstrated that exposures to respirable dust and silica are generally higher in these operations than in large-scale mining ( Gottesfeld et al. , 2015 ).

Results: Stone quarry workers who had 6 to10 years and more than 10 years of work experience were 48% (OR = 1.475, P = 0.021) and 82% (OR = 1.816, P = 0.003) respectively more likely to be aware ...
Read MoreAug 24, 2018 Whenever possible, use wet methods for crushing, cutting, drilling, grinding, and sweeping to reduce dust. Wetting is very effective at reducing dust at the source; however, a drawback to these methods is that the dust is not collected – the wet slurry must be cleaned up so that the dust does not dry and become airborne.

the remaining materials. Silica content is generally lower in natural stone products. Calcium-based stones, including limestone and certain varieties of marble (e.g., calcite, dolomite, and onyx), contain little or no silica. In contrast, granite can contain up to 45-50% silica. The table below describes typical silica/

Key take-aways 1. Silica is a natural mineral found in some stone, rock, sand, brick, tiles, concrete, gravel and clay. Exposure is caused by breaking, crushing or milling this type of material. 2. Silicosis occurs when crystalline silica dust scars the lungs. It's a serious and incurable disease, with symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue []
