“…In two of the cases of acute silicosis [Dumontet et al, ,; Vincent et al, ], the interview and the dialogue between the clinician and anatomopathologist proved to be essential. In the first case, while the radio‐clinical evaluation had initially suggested sarcoidosis, the pathologist who examined the biopsy had established a diagnosis of lipidosis.…”

The 1930 International Labour Office Conference on silicosis in Johannesburg identified silicosis by setting a medicolegal framework to its nosology: as with other occupational illnesses, its medical content was fixed under economic pressure. This article follows a reading of all the proceedings of this conference (debates and reports of experts) to examine their potential impact on the etiology and nosology of other diseases, specifically sarcoidosis and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), "idiopathic" diseases in which inorganic particles may be involved. We propose renewed study of the role of inorganic particles in these diseases. To do this, we propose to mobilize detection means such as mineralogical analysis and electron microscopy and in depth interviewing that are currently seldom used in France, in order to establish diagnosis and the potential occupational and environmental origin of these diseases.

“…The main sources are related to cleaning activities. Contact with SiO 2 comes from household cleaning products 19 and from the manipulation of clothes belonging to workers directly exposed to high levels of SiO 2 (dusty work clothes laundry). As those activities (mainly performed by women) are not considered to be associated with SiO 2 hazards, specific protections are rarely (if ever) implemented.…”

Are cleaning activities a source of exposure to crystalline silica in women with rheumatoid arthritis? A case–control study

IntroductionInhalation of crystalline silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) is associated with a wide range of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objectives of this work were to identify the main sources of exposure to SiO2in a series of patients with RA not selected on the basis of their professional activity, compared with a representative sample of the French general population, and to assess the association between silica exposure and disease features.MethodsThe Dust Exposure Life-Course Questionnaire (DELCQ) is a tool that enables retrospective quantification of both occupational and non-occupational lifetime exposure to SiO2. DELCQ—previously validated in a large representative sample of the French general population—was administered to 97 consecutive RA patients, and exposure scores were compared between cases and age, gender and smoking status-matched controls (1:4). The main sources of SiO2exposure were identified in cases and controls, and source-specific exposure levels were compared. The association between DELCQ scores and disease variables in cases was tested via univariable and multivariable analyses.ResultsIn women with RA, the main sources of SiO2exposure were cleaning activities and dusty clothes laundry, with higher exposure levels from these sources versus the general population (p<0.005). Across the whole series of RA patients, high SiO2exposure was independently associated with mediastinal lymphadenopathy (OR 6.3, 95% CI 1.4 to 27.7).ConclusionCleaning activities and dusty clothes laundry may be underestimated sources of SiO2exposure in women with RA.
