STUDY PREDICTS 10,000 AUSSIE WORKERS WILL DEVELOP LUNG CANCER FROM SILICA DUST
The ACTU, as part of their advocacy work in relation to the prevention of silicosis, recently commissioned a report from researchers at Curtin University.
Modelling used in the report predicts as many as 10,000 Australians may develop silica-caused lung cancer amid warnings more than half a million Australian workers are currently exposed to the harmful dust.
