When you use a grinder to smooth the surface of concrete, or any other quartz materials containing concrete, this generates a huge amount of silica dust. Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is one of the most common and hazardous dust types in trade work, silica dust particles can be 100x smaller than a grain of sand. Many workers breathe it in without realizing it. In the long term, this can lead to major health issues, such as silicosis (the scarring and stiffening of the lungs).
The best way to control dust is to stop it from getting into the air. That's why we designed our dust extractors to:
- Fit seamlessly on your concrete grinder
- Not get in the way of work
- Capture dust at the point of creation
