"Respirable silica dust exposure has long been known to be a serious health threat to workers in many industries. Overexposure to respirable silica dust can lead to the development of silicosis - a lung disease that can be disabling and fatal in its most severe form. Once contracted, there is no cure for silicosis so the goal must be to prevent …

The dust emitted by the mining process contributed to up to 700 workers contracting the deadly peritoneal mesothelioma disease. Dust provides poor visibility for those handling machinery – which may lead to an accident. Dust can also affect local flora and fauna, contaminate water supplies and infiltrate moving parts of machinery. ...
