Silicosis - What it is and how to avoid it

Blog: https://www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/b... Wikipedia describes it as “a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust. It is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs. It is a type of pneumoconiosis. Silicosis (particularly the acute form) is characterized by shortness of breath, cough, fever, and cyanosis (bluish skin). It may often be misdiagnosed as pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), pneumonia, or tuberculosis.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis Air Quality Monitor: https://amzn.to/3p9RGRe HEPA Filter: https://enviroklenz.com/product/envir... 0:00 What is Silicosis? 3:14 Air Quality Monitor 7:54 Dose Dependant 9:18 Minimise Dust 10:30 Glazes 15:50 Clay Clean Up 16:43 Trimming 17:28 Sanding 18:54 Fabrics 22:00 HEPA Filter 25:30 Summary --- For examples of my work that's been glazed, check out my Instagram:   / oldforgecreations   Buy my work, or read more on my blog: https://www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/shop Link to tools: https://www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/r...
