Abstract

In this note we present the high prevalence of silicosis found in a marble workshop after exposure to an innovative silica product.

A prospective, observational study was conducted with 11 workers who have been exposed to different types of quartz surfaces since 1995. In the shop, the work is divided into two groups: 4 subjects dedicated to the cutting workshop, and the remainder to assembly. At the time of the study, they had not been using any specific respiratory protection apparatus.

Six cases of silicosis have been diagnosed, which means a disease prevalence of 54.5% in this setting. Out of the 6 affected workers, 5 (83.3%) are assemblers.

We highlight the high risk of developing silicosis in the handling of different products within the range of quartz surfaces.

Resumen

En esta nota mostramos la elevada prevalencia de silicosis encontrada en una marmolería tras una exposición a una novedosa presentación de sílice.

Se trata de un estudio observacional, prospectivo, en el que se han estudiado 11 trabajadores que se exponen desde 1995 a diversas presentaciones de superficies de cuarzo. Los puestos de trabajo se dividen en dos grupos: por una parte 4 sujetos desarrollan trabajos de corte en el taller; el resto de los trabajadores trabaja en el montaje. Hasta la fecha no han utilizado sistemas de protección respiratoria específicos.

Se han diagnosticado 6 casos de silicosis, lo que supone una prevalencia de enfermedad para este ámbito del 54,5%. De los 6 afectados, 5 (83,33%) son montadores.

Destacamos el elevado riesgo de desarrollo de silicosis en el manejo de los diversos productos que conforman la gama de superficies de cuarzo.
