Victims of silicosis typically work in jobs with high levels of silica exposure, such as construction, sand blasting and mining. Lungs will react to the silica by developing scarring around the silica, which leads to difficulty breathing. The most common form of silicosis might not be detected for 10 to 35 years after a worker's initial exposure. Some telltale signs of silica exposure are shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, severe cough and flu-like symptoms.
