Types Of Dust Fibrogenic dust, such as free crystalline silica (FCS) or asbestos, is biologically toxic and, if retained in the lungs, can form scar tissue and impair the lungs' ability to function properly. Nuisance dust, or inert dust, can be defined as dust that contains less than 1% quartz. Because of its low content of silicates, nuisance

Acute silicosis: Occurs after a short exposure to high levels of silica dust, leading to severe inflammation and protein outpouring into the lung. Accelerated silicosis: This can develop after moderate to high levels of silica dust exposure for 3 to 10 years, leading to inflammation, protein in the lung, and lung scarring (fibrotic nodules).
