Silica exposure poses serious health hazards, as crystalline silica particles, commonly found in quartz, can be inhaled into the lungs during various industrial processes such as mining, construction, and manufacturing. Prolonged or intense exposure can lead to a debilitating lung disease known as silicosis, characterized by inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue. Silicosis can result in progressive respiratory impairment, coughing, and shortness of breath. Furthermore, silica exposure is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, tuberculosis, and other respiratory infections. Prevention measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, adequate ventilation, and adherence to safety regulations, are crucial in minimizing the health risks associated with silica exposure.
