What harm does silicon powder do to the body

The most significant harm to the body caused by silicon powder is silicosis. Long-term inhalation of large silicon powder doses can stimulate fiber cells to synthesize more collagen. Silicon dust can also stimulate macrophages to release lysosomal enzymes, destroy the protein coated on the surface of SiO2 and expose damaged cell membranes. It can also initiate lipid peroxidation, generate free radicals, and damage or even kill macrophages. Dead cells can stimulate adjacent fibroblasts to synthesize collagen. Bronchitis: After being inhaled by the human body, silicon powder can adhere to the bronchi, damage the bronchial mucosa, and then cause inflammation, causing patients to experience symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, airway burning, and pain. If inhaled silicon powder for a long time, it can also affect the patient's lung function, causing them to feel chest tightness. At this time, the patient can follow the doctor's instructions to apply drugs such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, compound licorice tablets, etc., for treatment; Pneumoconiosis: Silicon powder is not easy to decompose and metabolize. When inhaled for a long time, it can cause silicon powder particles to accumulate in the lungs, leading to diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue, causing pneumoconiosis, which may cause symptoms such as cough and chest pain, and most patients may also develop pneumonia. Patients can choose drugs such as terbutaline sulfate tablets and aminophylline tablets to alleviate symptoms according to their symptoms and by medical advice; Allergic asthma: Long-term inhalation of silicon powder may stimulate the patient's bronchus, which can lead to allergic asthma, resulting in symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. Patients can take medication such as beclomethasone propionate nasal aerosol and salbutamol sulfate aerosol and should avoid re-exposure to silicon powder daily. Suppose severe discomfort occurs after long-term inhalation of silicon powder. In that case, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for relevant examinations, such as lung CT, etc., and treat patients based on their symptoms. In addition, if patients need long-term exposure to silicon powder due to the nature of their work, they should pay attention to wearing a dustproof mask and do an excellent job of self-protection.
