The next round of Saharan dust is likely to move toward the Texas Gulf Coast by Sunday, becoming the most concentrated early ...

Without the looming threats of long-term health issues, NASA could use moon dust to build its base on the surface.

Silicosis is lung disease usually associated with stonecutters.

Smith found that while the irregular shape and roughness of the lunar dust still irritates the lungs, its effects are significantly less than that of air pollution.

Since 1970, more than 75,000 miners have died of black lung disease. Researchers working to prevent those deaths have received layoff notices.

The new rule was set to take effect in April, cutting the allowable level of silica dust in the air inside mines by half — to the limit already in place for other industries — and set stricter ...

Introduction Inhalation of crystalline silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) is associated with a wide range of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objectives of this work ...

Long-term exposure to silica dust, even at levels below permissible exposure limits in China, was associated with a higher risk for silicosis, according to study findings published in Thorax.

While the crystalline silica content in PM2.5 samples is logically slightly lower than in PM4 samples, his approach suggested that EPA sampling methods for ambient PM2.5 that inherently have higher ...

Hydro-Tail™ proudly announces the launch of the first and only innovative universal water attachment designed for all power tools, effectively suppressing silica dust at the point of contact ...

Effective Dust Suppression: By targeting dust at the point of contact, Hydro-Tail™ significantly reduces airborne silica particles, creating a healthier work environment.
