[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 14079, member: 414"] anyone tempted to dolly up quartz and smelt it to check for gold , keep in mind the safety issues smashing up quartz may produce silica dust which can cause silicosis ( lung disease ) and fumes from melting the dust also is unhealthy Does anyone know if P2 class respirators are enough to protect against this stuff ? My knowledge on the topic is minimal , anyone that knows more about it please correct me or add more detail to the above. ------------- remember : there is no point doing things " for a living " if it takes your life [/QUOTE]
