CPWR In partnership with two demolition contractors, one large crushing operation contractor and the Dust Boss TM manufacturer/supplier, reers evaluated the efficacy of different water suppression methods on reducing silica and dust exposures in construction demolition and crushing sites Airborne silica is present in numerous industries including construction, mining, foundry work, glass, concrete manufacturing, painting, pottery, and stone crushing In much of the developing world excessive exposures to silica dust are common in the stone crushing industry where most mills operate without dust controlsSilica Background Occupational Knowledge A recent study in India of over a hundred stone crushing workers showed that 48% had TB alone or in combination with silicosis In fact, TB is the most common cause of death in those with silicosis, The keynote speaker at the conference indicated that reducing worker exposure to respirable silica would reduce TB incidence among those exposedProposal to Convene a National Conference on Silica
Nonoccupational exposure to silica dust
Occupational exposure to silica occurs at workplaces in factories like quartz crushing facilities (silica flour milling), agate, ceramic, slate pencil, glass, stone quarries and mines, etc, Nonoccupational exposure to silica dust can be from industrial sources in the vicinity of the industry as well as nonindustrial sourcesBy demonstrating pollution control equipment and educating workers, we hope to reduce exposures to airborne silica in the stone crushing industries in this region Additional Documentation This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdocdoc)Reducing pollution from stone crushing in India Respirable crystalline silica dust generated during stone crushing operations has been linked to chronic lung disease and increased risk of tuberculosis In India, most stone crushing mills operate without any dust control or containment systemsReduction of Respirable Silica Following the

Reducing Silica Exposure in Manufacturing
There are, however, many trades and workplaces in the manufacturing sector where exposure to silica poses a significant risk Most of these occur wherever stone or soil is impacted and creates dust, especially when quartz is present It takes only a very small amount of airborne silica Reducing Lead and Silica Dust Exposures in SmallScale Mining in Northern Nigeria Perry Gottesfeld1,* ,Simba Tirima 2, Shehu Mohammed Anka 3, Adolpe Fotso2 and Michael Manti Nota1 1Occupational Knowledge International, 4444 Geary Boulevard, Suite 208, San Francisco, CA Reducing Lead and Silica Dust Exposures in SmallScale In September 2017, OSHA enacted a new rule to help protect employees who are exposed to crystalline silica which is a common mineral found in the earth’s crust This material is found in many elements like sand, stone, concrete and mortar Crystalline Silica is also used to make glass, pottery, ceramics, bricks and artificial stone []OSHA New Rule Aims at Reducing Silica Dust
Reducing silica dust risk by adopting right workplace
Additionally, crystalline silica exposures occur in the maintenance, repair and replacement of refractory brick furnace linings In the maritime industry, shipyard employees are exposed to silica primarily in abrasive blasting operations to remove paint and clean and prepare steel hulls, bulkheads, decks, and tanks for paints and coatings Crystalline silica is an important industrial material found abundantly in the earth’s crust Quartz, the most common form of silica, is a component of sand, stone, rock, concrete, brick, block, and mortar Materials containing quartz are found in a wide variety of workplacesWeekly Safety Meeting – Dangers of Silica Dust – In September 2017, OSHA enacted a new rule to help protect employees who are exposed to crystalline silica which is a common mineral found in the earth’s crust This material is found in many elements like sand, stone, concrete and mortar Crystalline Silica is also used to make glass, pottery, ceramics, bricks and artificial stone []OSHA New Rule Aims at Reducing Silica Dust

Preventing Tuberculosis Among Silica Dust Exposed
Reducing exposures to silica decreases the likelihood of developing silicosis, lung cancer and tuberculosis The feasibility and efficacy of dust controls in reducing TB prevalence and mortality among exposed workers have been clearly and smallscale mining and stone crushing communities in high burden countriesCrushing rock and masonry material generates a large amount of dust that may contain crystalline silica and creates a hazard for everyone in the vicinity Using water to suppress the dust may be easier than using local exhaust ventilation in some circumstances, and is an important dust control option to considerSolution Addon Wet Dust Suppression Systems for Reducing exposures, not increasing respiratory protection, is the best way to protect workers from silica, experts say respirable silica dust particles through cutting, sawing, drilling and crushing of concrete, brick, block and other stone products and in operations using sand products Abrasive blasters are among the occupations at Study: Silica Rule May Cut Cancer Rate : PaintSquare
