75 of the Act of 30 October 1946)
Diseases produced by free silica dust
Operations liable to lgive ' rise to the diseases
Silicosis: pulmonary fibro
sis due to inhalation of
dust containing free sili
ca, where there is radio
logical evidence accompani
ed by disorders (dyspnoea

by functional examination
of the respiratory tract.
Cardiac complications:

right ventricle.
Tuberculous complications:
silicosis appearing in
teleradiography by. at
leant large-scale nodular
mottling, complicated by
pulmonary tuberculosis,
confirmed bacteriologi
cally.
