🧵 one time exposure to concrete dust

I had to grind back some old concrete. Wore a mask but obviously not the correct one because dust was behind it and I had breathed some in. It was outdoors but I was exposed for about 2-3 hours. Can you develop Silicosis after one time exposure?

>Chronic silicosis: This usually happens when you’ve been exposed to breathable dust for more than 10 years.
>Subacute silicosis: This type, also called accelerated silicosis, happens over a shorter period of time, like two to five years. Even though the time is shorter, your exposure is heavier.
>Acute silicosis: You can get this type by having intense exposure to particles made up of a large percentage of silica over a period of time that is as short as several months.

>This is a progressive disease that normally takes 10–30 years after first exposure to develop.
You’ll be fine, but in the future make sure you understand your safety equipment better.

You'll be fine, I did concrete foundation repairs without a mask for like 2 years and had concrete boogers every single day
I run a sub 3 hour marathon
That said, I did quit that shit because I thought I was pushing my luck. Why no mask? Rednecks are bad people. That's why.
