“…The disease is also known as phthisis -though this is an archaic term -and is a form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust. 25 The disease is found in many industries, most commonly in gold mining. Prognosis is problematic, given that no known cure for silicosis exists, and silicosis is an irreversible condition that may be progressive, leading to potentially fatal fibrotic or lung disease that develops following the inhalation of large amounts of silica dust more than 0,05m 3 /mg over time.…”

Issuing fitness certificates to South African mine workers with early and mild silicosis to continue risk work underground is a public health concern. This article draws on the view of solidarity to contend this practice. We employed a normative ethics approach and the concept of solidarity in African ‘Ubuntu’ philosophy to report and reflect on the public health implications of silica dust exposure among South African miners. We argued that since silicosis is irreversible, incurable, and could be progressive, leading to death, thus, issuing certificates of fitness to individuals who have early and mild silicosis, in many ways, is inappropriate and the practice ought to be rejected. We recommend more studies to reflect on the ethical management of silica dust exposure in the South African gold mining industry.

“…NPs increase the consistency of proteins against enzymatic degradation and exhibit superiority over traditional methods in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. 12 Drugs or other active compounds can be loaded on engineered NPs for effective targeted delivery to specific sites in an organism. Notable efforts have been made to examine the broad applications of engineered NPs within human systems, mainly for targeted delivery of drug, cancer therapy and various genetic disorders which can be well addressed by their effective utilization.…”
