I had to grind back some old concrete. Wore a mask but obviously not the correct one because dust was behind it and I had breathed some in. It was outdoors but I was exposed for about 2-3 hours. Can you develop Silicosis after one time exposure?

>>16284166yes, you will now get lung cancer
>>16284166https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22622-silicosis>Chronic silicosis: This usually happens when you’ve been exposed to breathable dust for more than 10 years.>Subacute silicosis: This type, also called accelerated silicosis, happens over a shorter period of time, like two to five years. Even though the time is shorter, your exposure is heavier.>Acute silicosis: You can get this type by having intense exposure to particles made up of a large percentage of silica over a period of time that is as short as several months.https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/silicosis/learn-about-silicosis>This is a progressive disease that normally takes 10–30 years after first exposure to develop.You’ll be fine, but in the future make sure you understand your safety equipment better.
>>16284166You'll be fine, I did concrete foundation repairs without a mask for like 2 years and had concrete boogers every single day I run a sub 3 hour marathon That said, I did quit that shit because I thought I was pushing my luck. Why no mask? Rednecks are bad people. That's why.
