Silicosis Research

Silicosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica dust, often found in mining, construction, and certain industrial activities. Research on silicosis focuses on understanding how this dust damages lung tissue, leading to inflammation and scarring. Scientists study its effects, prevention methods, and potential treatments. Advances in research aim to reduce exposure to silica in workplaces and improve health monitoring for affected individuals. Increasing awareness and safety measures are crucial in minimizing the risk of silicosis and protecting workers' health.
