Clinical trials: Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis
Silicosis
Reducing Silica Exposure Among Brick Kiln Workers in Nepal
Inhaling respirable silica increases the risk for silicosis, an incurable and debilitating lung disease. In South Asia, one high-risk industry is brick manufacturing, where more than 4 million manual laborers mold bricks by hand.
