I rarely post on X anymore and have to say every time I come on this app my feed is flooded with racist/misogynistic/far-right content. Anyone else?

I mostly post on @LinkedIn so please do connect with me on there if you would like to keep up to date with what I’m doing.

As #LungCancerAwarenessMonth draws to an end, I reflect on the link between silicosis and lung cancer. We are seeing an increase in #silicosis cases caused by working with #engineeredstone. Action needs to be taken to prevent unnecessary silica-induced lung cancer diagnoses.

[Irwin Mitchell @irwinmitchell]

Silicosis is a lung disease caused by exposure to silica dust. With an increase in cases, our expert @Hannahwall96, who supports those diagnosed with industrial diseases, explores how workers can be protected and the link between silicosis and lung cancer: https://t.co/yroZBlx4W9

[Hannah Wall @Hannahwall96]

Shocking to see the figure has doubled since this story was first reported by @theipaper . If you work with #kitchenworktops and you have #silicosis my colleagues and I at @irwinmitchell can help you investigate a legal claim.

There are an increasing number of articles in the press about the potential impact of vaping on young people's lungs. This article is especially shocking.

[Sarah Sleet @_SarahSleet]

It’s #WorldAsthmaDay! Did you know that there are 7.2m people affected by asthma in the UK. It’s so important that we help people understand their triggers and use asthma action plans to help manage their condition. As always Asthma + Lung UK are here to help.

Poorly maintained MWF can cause serious illness, including #asthma and #hypersensitivitypneumonitis, the cost of which, to employer and employee, far outweighs the cost of health surveillance!
