Silicosis on the rise | Professor Deborah Yates

Silicosis is a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling unsafe levels of silica dust, usually over a period of many years. People who work with certain materials may inhale a very fine dust that contains silica. Once inside the lungs, the dust particles can scar the lungs. This scarring is known as silicosis. Silicosis can lead to breathing problems, a serious lung condition called Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF), or lung cancer. There is no cure for silicosis and it can be fatal. ------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 - What is Silicosis? 00:46 - How common is it? 1:32 - Who is most likely to be impacted? 2:25 - What are the symptoms? ------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Silicosis, go to: https://www.svhlunghealth.com.au/cond...
