Silica dust, a byproduct of working with concrete, poses significant respiratory health risks. Prolonged exposure to silica dust can lead to serious conditions such as silicosis, which is associated with chronic wheezing, arthritis, reduced life expectancy, and an increased risk of lung cancer. Construction workers, in particular, are susceptible to respiratory issues due to the high level of silica dust present in building sites. While measures have been taken to improve health and safety, including the use of protective equipment, stricter regulations may be necessary to further protect workers from the harmful effects of silica dust.
