The Silicosis News Website provides
valuable information on many aspects of silicosis, crystalline silica,
and related respiratory diseases. It also provides online resources
as well as legal rights for those who have experienced health problems
due to the inhalation of crystalline silica.
Silicosis is a respiratory disease
of the lungs that develops directly out of prolonged and extensive
exposure to airborne crystalline silica. This work-related disease
can be disabling and, in certain cases, even be fatal. Victims of
silicosis typically work in jobs with high levels of silica exposure
such as construction, sandblasting, and mining.
