carborundum

a synthetic abrasive manufactured through fusion of high grade silica sand and finely ground carbon in an electric furnace at 2,400 degrees C; has fibrogenic activities comparable to asbestos fibers of similar size and likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of the interstitial lung disease of carborundum workers

" 09/01/1949 - "Pneumoconiosis caused by carborundum dust." 10/01/1992 - "Carborundum pneumoconiosis is now recognized as an occupational lung disease with specific pathological features. " 06/01/1993 - "This paper reports on pulmonary dust retention in a man who worked 42 years in the vicinity of an Acheson furnace of a silicon carbide plant and had a carborundum pneumoconiosis. " 07/01/1986 - "One of the two was diagnosed as having pneumoconiosis due to exposure to silica in a steel industry and the other was suspected of having pulmonary fibrosis caused by dust generated from the carborundum wheels used to grind hard metal. "
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 09/01/1999 - "No lesions were observed on controls or on plants sprayed without Carborundum, suggesting that bacteria gain entry through wounds. " 12/01/1985 - "[The early treatment of a second degree burned wound--the use of a carborundum disk in debridement (report of 25 cases)]." 01/01/2016 - "Unlike carborundum, VACNFs did not disrupt cell or tissue integrity, nor did they induce production of hydrogen peroxide, a typical wound response.

3.	Silicosis 04/15/1972 - "The effect of small amounts of aluminium, carbon and carborundum on the development of silicosis and asbestosis." 12/01/2004 - "The clinical diagnosis of MDP requires the exclusion of other well-defined pneumoconioses, including asbestosis, coal workers' pneumoconiosis, silicosis, hematite miners' pneumoconiosis, welders' pneumoconiosis, berylliosis, hard metal disease, silicate pneumoconiosis, diatomaceous earth pneumoconiosis, carborundum pneumoconiosis, and corundum pneumoconiosis. "
4.	Pulmonary Fibrosis (Fibrosing Alveolitis) 04/01/1989 - "The two-carborundum fiber samples produced a similar sustained nodular fibrosing alveolitis and crocidolite asbestos fibers produced a peribronchiolar fibrosing alveolitis of comparable severity. " 07/01/1986 - "One of the two was diagnosed as having pneumoconiosis due to exposure to silica in a steel industry and the other was suspected of having pulmonary fibrosis caused by dust generated from the carborundum wheels used to grind hard metal.
