The process of grinding, shot blasting or shaving a concrete floor leaves a hazardous dust on the floor which is called Silica. One of the serious health disease associated with a long exposure to Silica dust is called Silicosis.

Professional dust collection systems will suck in most of the silica dust from the floor as you move forward with the grinder. Certified vacuums not only help to provide a proper bonding (dust and debris free surface), but they also offer some piece of mind with their HEPA filters ( this make sure minimum hazardous particles get into the air we breath in). Another method is the use of air monitoring systems that measure silica exposur...
