Lung Awareness INTERNATIONAL LUNG HEALTH DAY 2026 We Care about Your Lungs. We Care – about what we don’t see. Dust is rarely visible. But it stays in the body – for decades. Lung diseases among construction and industrial workers are still on the rise, even though most of them are completely preventable. It’s time to talk about it. WATCH THE MOVIES → WEBBINAR → 25 SEPTEMBER WORLD LUNG DAY 20+ years it may take before symptoms appear. 90% of the cases are preventable. 1 of 10 workers suffer from dust lung disease. 1972 is the year since Dustcontrol protects professional workers. ABOUT LUNG AWARENESS The dust you can’t see is the most dangerous Every day, hundreds of thousands of workers breathe in invisible particles of quartz, wood dust and asbestos. It happens on construction sites, in workshops, in warehouses. It’s routine. It’s not noticed – until it’s too late. “We Care” is not about products. It is about the people who spend their lives building our everyday lives, and about their right to a healthy future. Since 1972, Dustcontrol has developed solutions with one purpose: to ensure that they can breathe as easily tomorrow as they do today. “Lung Awareness” is also recognized on September 25th – World Lung Health Day. FACTS ABOUT THE RISKS OF DUST Why Lung Protection Is Not Optional ■ Silica Exposure Inhalation of crystalline quartz causes silicosis – an incurable lung disease. Common in concrete, stone and demolition work. The limit value is regularly exceeded on Swedish construction sites. ■ Delayed Symptoms The danger of occupational dust is that the consequences are delayed. Diseases such as COPD, silicosis and lung cancer can take 10–30 years to develop, making the connection to work difficult to see. ■ Fully Preventable The vast majority of cases of occupational lung disease are completely preventable with the right equipment, the right filters and the right routines. WE CARE – THE MOVIES Five films. This is how we keep the dust away. Five short films from our own specialists and workplaces: what filter classes L, M and H actually mean, and about dust & slurry management on a construction site. Practice rather than theory – roughly what we would have shown you on site. OCTOBER 14 – DIGITAL AND FREE The Dangers of Dust On October 14th, we invite you to a free webinar about dust in the work environment – what the research shows, what the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s new regulations require, and what poor dust management costs in projects. Everyone who registers will receive our whitepaper The Hidden Cost of Dust , including the ten-minute risk assessment checklist.
