Increasing evidence shows that SSc is related to various occupational and environmental factors, such as silica exposure .
The risk of SSc in silicosis patients is 28 times higher than that in the general population .
The clinical characteristics of SSc patients with silica exposure are different from those of SSc patients without silica exposure, such as the degree of dermatological disease and of visceral involvement, and the degree and type of autoantibodies
Key Points
•Concomitant silicosis worsens SSc patients’ prognoses.
•For individuals with occupational exposure, close observation of the symptoms of SSc, early diagnosis, and interruption of exposure may improve the prognosis.
•Gangrene, Scl-70, elevated BNP and cardiac involvement are independent risk factors for overall mortality.

Workplace regulators in California are drafting an emergency rule to address an epidemic of silicosis — a deadly, preventable lung disease — among fabricators of artificial-stone countertops.
One of the men featured in the stories, Juan Gonzalez Morin, died last month. He had just turned 37.
Since 2019, the California Department of Public Health has identified 69 cases of silicosis among fabrication workers — “likely an underestimate,”

Occupational Lung Diseases: Causes and Prevention
Occupational lung diseases are a group of conditions caused by exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. These diseases can range from mild to severe, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. Workers in industries like mining, construction, agriculture, and manufacturing are particularly at risk. Recognizing the causes, symptoms, and prevention of these diseases is essential…

Occupational exposure to crystalline silica also causes diseases such as kidney disease, immune system problems, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, silicosis and lung cancer .
In conclusion, the average exposure to crystalline silica in carvers was higher than the permissible limit. Some workers were at risk of acquiring cancer and the majority of them were at an unacceptable non-cancerous risk. Therefore, it is necessary to implement engineering control measures and appropriate respiratory protection programs.
One of the most important ways of control is raising the awareness of workers and monitoring their work.

Silica is the most plentiful mineral on earth and is the primary constituent in most rocks.
The respirable form of silica is small enough to reach the terminal bronchioles and alveoli of the respiratory system.
Typical immune mechanisms cannot clear these particles from the lung, initiating a pathologic cycle of inflammation and parenchymal damage that ultimately leads to silicosis.
Silicosis is the world's most prevalent occupational lung disease and is characterized by irreversible, progressive pulmonary fibrosis leading to restrictive lung disease. Silicosis is a preventable disease with significant morbidity and mortality that has no cure.
Education on prevention, screening, timely diagnosis, avoidance of exacerbating factors, and treatment of complications is imperative.
Silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, occurs secondary to the inhalation of RCS and causes progressive, irreversible, and fatal lung inflammation and fibrosis.While the condition is preventable, no treatment exists.
Silicosis increases susceptibility to Mycobacterial diseases, autoimmune diseases, and bronchogenic carcinoma.
