Due to the dangers of silicosis, NZ stone benchtop fabricator AGB Stone is reducing their silica content from 90% to 40%.
Due to their workplace environments, construction workers are at an increased risk of #respiratory hazards and diseases that have adverse health effects, according to a recent study. #OccEnvMed
The authors observed an increased risk of these health conditions associated with exposure to dust, respirable crystalline #silica, fumes, vapors, asbestos fibers, and gases.

There's a worker hidden in that cloud of deadly #silica dust. I tried in my best Spanish to explain that the dust was bad for the pulmones and they should wet it down with aqua. No supervisor to be found. #OSHA. https://www.osha.gov/silica-crystalline
Scientists at Purdue University created the world's fastest spinning object, which revolves at 300 billion revolutions per minute. Or, put another way, half a million times faster than a dentist's drill.

Quick little video about a bottle of "ceramic" spray.
This is a hydrophobic spray coating, and supposedly contains amorphous silica. I was curious if it was in nanoparticle form, aggregate, etc so I popped it under the AFM and SEM to investigate. 🔬

It is pretty cool that some silicate melts compress on adding few GPa of pressure while others expand.
This behavior is known as the anomalous behavior of silicate melts.

डाक्यूमेंट्री #सांसोंमेंसिलिका बनाने का एक बड़ा संतोष यह भी है कि इस फिल्म के लिये मैंने एक गीत लिखा जिसे बेहतरीन फ़नकार और बहुत बड़े दिल वाली @vidyasings ने अपना सुर दिया। मैं उनका शुक्रगुज़ार हूं।
