I worked in a open pit silica mine for 5 years, in an open pit coal mine
for 8 years, spent 5 years in the US Navy with asbestos for insulation
on the steam lines, and did inhale for 10 years and my lungs are in
better shape than most of the people I know that are younger and haven't
had the exposure because I live at a high altitude and stay very active.
 Much of the crud in our lungs, including silica will heal or leave if
one doesn't sit in a chair all their lives. I also have about 10% more
lung capacity from marching up mountains seeking wily elk for a number
of years. Try weekly aerobic dancing to strengthen the lungs and rid the
body of all that toxic crap......that and move out of the city.
Try eating more meteorites, I have heard it helps...
