Silicosis
Silicosis and silicotuberculosis among respiratory hospital admissions: A cross-sectional survey in northern Tanzania
Silicosis, tuberculosis and silica exposure among artisanal and small-scale miners: a systematic review and modelling paper
An estimated 44 million artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM), largely based in developing economies, face significant occupational risks for respiratory diseases which have not been reviewed. We therefore aimed to review studies that describe silicosis and tuberculosis prevalence and respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposures among ASM and use background evidence to better understand the relationship between exposures and disease outcomes. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase for studies published before the 24th March 2023.
