Silicosis

If you or someone you love is suffering from silicosis, you are not alone. Silicosis is an irreversible lung disease that causes untold suffering to its victims and their families. Many employers and manufacturers continued to expose workers to the devastating effects of loose silica sand on the job, even after the dangers were well known.

Under-diagnosis of the disease and under-reporting of working conditions with insufficient safety measures is frequent. Many companies fail to provide primary preventive measures (e.g., controlling the amount of dust created as well as how it is released and spread into the workplace) and appropriate respiratory protection. Even today, legislation and inspection for effective enforcement are inadequate.
