Silica

Silicosis is a disease caused by exposure to crystalline Silica dust. Those who work with or around materials containing Silica crystals are most likely to develop silicosis. Families of persons who work with or around Silica are also at risk for exposure, as the dust can make its way off a job site by means of clothing or equipment. Occupations that put workers into contact with Silica dust include sandblasting, mining, and many other industrial positions. One may breathe airborne Silica dust, causing the tiny crystals to go deep into the alveolar sacs of the lungs. The lungs are unable to get rid of these crystals and over time, the Silica crystals can cause scarring, hardening, and the formation of nodules in the lungs. This causes difficulty breathing, chest pains, and a host of other Silicosis symptoms.

Silicosis is a debilitating disease that can seriously impact the lifestyle of those afflicted. If you are suffering from an adverse health condition that can be attributed to Silica dust exposure, you may be entitled to receive compensation. The law firm of James F. Humphreys & Associates builds cases against employers and manufacturers for exposing any person to the dangerous material Silica.
