In this video, Ben and Cristale share their experiences of living with silicosis. Silicosis is mainly caused by breathing in silica dust at work. Silica dust is generated when silica-containing materials, such as engineered stone, concrete, mortar or natural sources like shale and granite, are cut, crushed, drilled, ground, polished, sanded, sawed or disturbed with force. Silicosis is a chronic condition that currently has no cure. A silicosis diagnosis can be isolating but you are not alone.
