“…No study was found that specifically used the term "industrial dust" or "marble dust" related to hearing difficulties. Self-reported hearing disorders were found in workers exposed to dust in construction (Santos et al, 2017), individuals exposed to dust caused by the World Trade Center disaster, the United States 49,58, agricultural workers exposed to dust (Haeffner, Sarquis, Heck, & Jardim, 2015), corn and soybean farmers, and pig farmers exposed to dust from grain and animal confinement operations (Cramer, Wendl, Sayles, Duysen, & Achutan, 2017), as well as in aborigines exposed to geogenic dust (Melody et al, 2016). In addition, an association was found between N.I.H.L.…”
