Sand Blasting
Not provided & here is why: Silica sand used to be used as a type of mineral abrasive. However, it tends to break up quickly, creating large quantities of dust, exposing the operator & others exposed to the dust, the potential risk of developing “silicosis”, a debilitating lung disease. Using silica as an abrasive is not allowed in Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, or Belgium for this reason.
