What environmental conditions may cause damage to the alveolar sacs?
Coal dust, silica dust, and asbestos, which may lead to pulmonary fibrosis
What are silica rich and thick magma is what?
Silica is sand dust.
How do you put the word silica in a sentence?
I'm protecting myself from inhaling the silica dust.
How do you analyse crystalline silica respirable dust on a 37mm 10 micron filter?
You can analyse crystalline silica respirable dust on a 37 mm 10 micron filter by sampling.
What is silaca?
siliaca is an element and makes up most of the earths mantle. also is use in quarts witch is use in glass. also the more silica lava has the thicker and lighter it is.it can also be used in a rubber o-ring lubracant or any lubracant Silica is silicon dioxide with the formula SiO2 and is a crystal with a tetrahedral structure. Silica is formed when silicon is exposed to the oxygen in air. When found in nature, it's most commonly in sand and quartz. Silica is known for its hardness and is used in many things: glass, optical fibers in telecommunications, ceramics, microelectronics as an electronic insulator (because of its high chemical stability), cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste as an abrasive, and as a gel used in aeronautics. Exposure to fine silica dust over a long period of time can be detrimental to health because the dust can lodge itself into the lungs and cause irritation. Eventually, it could cause silicosis, bronchitis, or cancer.
What are known Limestone health hazards?
Silica dust is dangerous.
How fast can silica kill you?
dust go ing inside your eyes
What has the author John W Thatcher written?
John W Thatcher has written: 'The determination of free silica in airborne dust collected on membrane filters' -- subject(s): Dust, Silica, Air filters
What are the dangers of cinder block dust?
Silicosis. Over time the exposure to silica dust in blocks can have irreparable effects on the lungs.
What the harmful effects silicon?
Silicon is not known to be toxic, but if breathed in as a fine silica/silicate dust it may cause chronic respiratory problems, even it can cause lung cancer if directly breathed in. Silicates such as asbestos are carcinogenic.
Is it dangerous to inhale granite dust?
YES! - Crystalline silica is a basic component of soil, sand, granite, and many other minerals. Crystalline silica has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal. The respirable silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs' ability to take in oxygen. There is no cure for silicosis. Since silicosis affects lung function, it makes one more susceptible to lung infections like tuberculosis. REF: http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/crystalline-factsheet.pdf
How do you control silica carry over by steam?
A major problem in geothermal power plants, where the silica dust comes up along with the steam. Very corrosive by sand blasting. A cyclone is one trick to separate dust and vapour.
