Putting new tiles in the bathroom or kitchen is a fun and rewarding home improvement project. But there is a hidden risk involved with doing this. First, the many tools used to remove tiles create a lot of dust.

Although dust is an inevitable byproduct of this process, it poses a severe health and safety risk if it may accumulate. Indoor air quality decreases, and occupants are exposed to more potentially dangerous compounds when the dust is abundant in a structure. Here you can see why you need Mesa dustless tile removal experts to keep healthy and indoor air clean.

 

The Dangers of Dust from Tiles

Tile dust is remarkably tenacious and can cause air conditioning and electronic problems. Since it’s always floating around, you’re probably breathing it in without even realizing it. Asthmatics, allergic people, and those with compromised immune systems would do poorly in your home.

Crystalline silica is another issue with tile dust. It is a mineral used in many construction products, such as.

• Ceramic tile
• Grout
• Slate

 

Cutting or grinding any of these materials will expose you to crystalline silica, but you won’t even realize it. However, prolonged contact with these substances can lead to silicosis.

When the lungs contract silicosis, scarring occurs. The following signs and symptoms are presented initially:

 

• Shortness of breath.
• Chest tightness.
• Wheezing
• Severe cough.
• Then, it manifests as one of three types.

 

Most cases of silicosis are of a chronic variety. Crystalline silica causes it after prolonged exposure of at least ten years. Kodiak Tile and Stone keep homes clean, so there are no risks of the above.

Increased risk of developing silicosis within 5-10 years after exposure to crystalline silica.

Acute silicosis: may develop after weeks or months of extreme exposure to crystalline silica. In severe cases of silicosis, patients may not make it past the first few months.

Silica is also related to kidney illness, lung cancer, and tuberculosis. So, if you ever need to remove tiles from your home, it’s essential to do so in a dust-free manner to protect your family’s health and the integrity of your home’s air quality.
