Wear a carbon filtered mask and not the paper kind because the exhaled water and carbon dioxide. The moist paper mask acts like a magnet for floating particles so those people trying to protect themselves from the avian flu did more harm than good.
I work in a copper silver and have been told the dust is 99 percent silica. There is alot of dust from the loaders loading the rock, and I have breathed in alot over 3 years. Do you think I will be affected by silicosis at some point, and is there any way to detect a problem early. I hate to have to work in this place, but I live in a small town in NW montana and I am just trying to support my family, no other good jobs around here. Thanks
Wear a mask to filter out the silica dust! This is really rather important. Damage is accumulative and happens slowly over decades. You may be symptom free for years as inflammation/fibrosis slowly decreases your lung functions.
