| Signs and symptoms of Silicosis |
|
|
|
Silicosis is a respiratory disease caused by inhalation of silica dust, which leads to inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue.
If the exposure to silica is intense then Silicosis may develop in a year or less,
but it usually takes at least 10 or 15 years of exposure before symptoms develop. |
|
|
Silica is a component of sand, so sand-blasters and glass workers may be constantly exposured to silica. Other workers
at risk include: Quarrying and stone cutting, road and building construction, work with abrasives manufacturing and mining.
|
|
There are 3 types of silicosis dependant upon the airborne concentration of crystalline silica:
Chronic silicosis usually occurs after 10 or more years of over exposure and is the most common form.
Accelerated silicosis results from higher exposures and develops over 5 to 10 years.
Acute silicosis occurs where exposures are the highest and can cause symptoms to develop within a few weeks.
|
|
| If you have been diagnosed with silicosis or are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have a claim.
