Silicosis Side Effects Injury Lawsuits. Every year, 2 million workers in the U.S. are exposed to crystalline silica, which can cause ‘silicosis’, a disabling and sometimes fatal disease. About 300 deaths are attributed to ‘silicosis’ annually. Inhaling airborne crystalline silica dust also has been associated with other diseases such as tuberculosis and lung cancer. However, ‘silicosis’ is often misdiagnosed as pulmonary edema and pneumonia.
Early stages of the disease may go unnoticed. Continued exposure may result in shortness of breath while exercising, possible fever and occasionally bluish skin at the ear lobes or lips. ‘Silicosis’ makes a person more susceptible to infectious diseases of the lungs such as tuberculosis. Progression of ‘silicosis’ leads to fatigue, extreme shortness of breath, loss of appetite, pain in the chest, and respiratory failure, which may cause death. Acute ‘silicosis’ may develop after short periods of exposure. Chronic ‘silicosis’ usually occurs after 10 or more years of exposure to lower levels of quartz.
