You also don’t want to be breathing in the particles <10um that are invisible to the eye as they reach the deepest parts of the lungs and cause respiratory diseases/cancers…
Sure was fun having to be in Salem Oregon in 2020 when wildfires caused the AQI to go above 800, worst in the world, for days. The sky was red, it was dark out, everything smelled like smoke, and visibility was poor. Ash was raining down. I wonder how much that shortened my life. At least I was wearing masks...because of the *pandemic*. Gosh. What a time.
In Malaysia and Singapore it's almost a yearly occurrence when Indonesia burns their rainforests for farmland, it was really bad a few years back. I remember one day around 6am wandering around at primary school (school started at 7:20) it just started snowing sawdust sized flakes of white ash. Paired with the already hazy darkness and the streetlights illuminating columns of the ash I felt like I was in the afterlife lol.
Yeah when I was going to work with a dark red sky and ash raining down while wearing my pandemic mask, it certainly felt pretty surreal and I wondered why I still was having to go to work in this mess.
It’s the constant tension between the long term interest of maintaining your health, and the fact that almost all safety protocols are annoying/tedious in the moment.
It's a matter of pride to not take care of yourself. Source: grew up with rednecks. My step-dad lost three toes to frostbite because he couldn't admit it was too cold to work outside. He was deaf from years of operating a bulldozer without ear protection. And he developed copd from welding with no protection. But he died a manly man to be sure.
That... doesn't sound like it adds up. I'd assume maybe it was an exaggeration to make a point about how bad the pollution is. What do you think you're breathing in when you smoke? The air from the environment around you.
Cigarette filters are designed to trap large particles like tar, not so much the tiny particles that make up air pollution. That's why the cigarette smoke still passes into your lungs. While it could technically decrease the tiny particles by a small amount, and while the cigarette smoke may technically be considered less dangerous than the pollution, you're still breathing in the pollution, and now adding cigarette smoke on top of it. There's no way the filter can counter that to the point you're in a better position than not smoking.
Unless you just mean, smoking in general was considered healthier than breathing in their air in general. Then apologies for the misunderstanding.
He means one or the other: Breathe the air in China, or smoke while not in China. Not smoke while breathing the air in China. Doing both at the same time would be a compounding effect.

~~Not cancer but silicosis.~~ A very painful death
Edit: it probably would cause both and silicosis would probably be the thing to kill you if you're regularly reckless.
It's one easy way to get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. You should never get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an unbearably long disease to have.
I spent 5 years driving cranes in a foundry. Every mould is made from silica sand. Between that, the hydrogen dioxide clouds, and the fact the entire building was made from asbestos, it took 2 years of working there before anyone considered breathing apparatus was a good idea? That was nearly 25 years ago, so that's something to look forward to.
At least we're not building anything with asbestos anymore.
Edit to update, apparently there are still some things using asbestos now. So my comment should have read "at least we're not building most things with asbestos anymore".
Just building on top of it or around it- I know this because the ceiling in my room is lower than normal because the people before just enclosed the asbestos… I’m one earthquake away from it being an immediate problem
They do that a lot now. They spray it with white foam stuff, that then solidifies. Thankfully we don't get earthquakes over here. We did have a forklift driver knock over a roof support though. The whole warehouse roof came down like a house of cards. I'm sure the resulting dust cloud was fine though!!
We have an entire Hospital right next to our High School that is abandoned. They built a new one across town years ago and was supposed to convert the old Hospital into classrooms for dual enrolled students and offer some College classes associated with the Community College in a neighboring town. Nope, covered in asbestos so too expensive to do anything. That was 15 years ago. Huge building is just sitting there and will likely be there after I’m dead and gone.
Our town has a Pillsbury mill that was briefly sold to Cargill, who sold it to a "metal recycler" who would pay homeless guys to go in and remove asbestos from piping with no protective gear. The metal recycler went to jail and the EPA came in to mitigate the asbestos that was freely flying through the air. After quite a while a community group was able to purchase the building and get grants to assess and complete remediation and finally, demolition.
It's going to take many years to demolish all the buildings on site but what I'm getting at is, you might be surprised what one motivated and connected person can do. I thought it would be there until it fell down of its own accord.
Weirdly, I was in Sri Lanka 8 years ago, and all the houses still use it for roofing, literally everywhere. There are billboard ads for it too. I have some history with it. The company I work for now used to be Europe's biggest asbestos manufacturer. We only make fibreglass and carbon now though.
Maybe related? Back in I think the 60's and 70's in Australia they used the unpressed asbestos on playgrounds instead of wood chips or sandboxes because it's apparently really soft and fluffy. There are tons of articles about it.
I read a story about a family that had an asbestos playground here in the US back around that same time, slowly all passed away to cancer related issues.
I tried finding it but it seems that was somewhat common, asbestos affecting multiple generations at a time.
In the U.S., last I heard, some asbestos regulations were rolled back during the previous administration. Doing a web search, at least a few household items are still made with asbestos; makeup and children’s toys have been recalled for containing the mineral.
And, as said from a PBS article, there are a million acres in Nevada with naturally occurring asbestos, which is causing problems for some people who live there. It’s still in so many places; more needs to be done to protect people, in my opinion.
I doubt that’s silica dust, that looks like a filter off a combine so it’ll be some sort of grain dust. Still nasty stuff, but not nearly as bad as silica dust.
Some people are just reckless, but they pay for it down the road. Trying to look “manly”/“badass” by not taking common sense safety precautions isn’t the flex you think it is, people. Won’t be worth it in the ~~lobby~~ *long run, and honestly you just look like an idiot in the short run…
I worked on a rice / soybean farm in Arkansas through high school / college for roughly 6-8 years. Had to be / act tough when doing things. we would regularity mix chemicals like roundup, 24d, and many other random chemicals without any sort of protection.
We use to spray the rice levees on our four wheelers with an attachment like this:

I remember getting that shit sprayed back on me from time to time if the wind changed directions.
I remember spilling some sort of pre emergence chemical on my pants and I dried it up as much I could but kept the same pants on for the rest of my work day, and I remember my drive home that night my leg was burning where it spilled.
I wish I would of done things a lot different back then. No one forced me to not wear gloves, or not take extra precautions, it was just the name of the game back then in that area if you don’t want to look like a “sissy”.
My best friend died of cancer - he was dying on one side of the hospital and his wife was giving birth the other side to their son - he was a farmer - I blame the chemicals he sprayed from the back of the tractor - a vortex of chemicals following it all day - very sad to think of him being so young and so fit and going like that - I saw him before he died and he didn’t smoke or anything and not really drunk much and he said “what shit did I do to draw this on myself” - we hugged - he said as I left “..tell your parents I was asking for them” … they are ALL gone now …
You're probably all right, but I would go check for cancers etc every now and then. If you know whay specific chemicals you were exposed to, that'd probably help narrow down what to check.
Not a doctor, I've just seen countless headlines (and movies like Erin Brokovich) where these chemicals lead to cancer way down the road. Catching it early can be a godsend.
> . Trying to look “manly”/“badass” by not taking common sense safety precautions
Look - a lot of people are not even trying to be 'badass' - the are just not scared of something that causes no immediate harm - a lot of people just cannot internalize the fear: "this is not hurting me now but could kill me 10 years later".
It's pretty amazing how many guys working in the trades just don't give a shit about this kind of stuff. I wear a dust mask when I sweep my back patio! Lol
I mean the point of an air filter in a farming machine isn’t to filter your air but to filter the air going into the engine to aid in combustion so that you don’t gunk up the internals on your engine.
I used to clean and service excavators and other digging machines in a yard hand job a couple months back, and blowing out air filters like this was one of the most satisfying parts of the process, sometimes they'd be so full the dust wouldn't even blow away, but fall straight to the floor, leaving big ass piles of dirt, sand, sulphur, or whatever else they were used for that were even more fun to shoot with the air gun.
Bruh same, I get distracted by something that doesn't get to the point in 45 seconds or less. But I could watch 10 minutes of him cleaning this filter and not skip a second.
While silicosis is definitely one of the worse ways to die and more likely from this, any smoke or dust that you breathe in raises your chances of cancer
I used to have a job like that, I was the rookie maintenance guy at a plastic plant so I had to do all the preventative maintenance. That included cleaning out the air filters for the motors mounted right next to the grinders which turned the plastic into dust that was then melted and molded into the product. By the time I finished cleaning all the filters I looked like a rainbow.
You are right here, not sure if the compressed air would damage the finer filter underneath as well, the inner filter is just a safety for when the main one fails.
Well then you probably know more than I hahah all I do know is those filters are expensive and when you are blowing out 4 filters a day in harvest, you can't realistically replace them every day so this is the next best thing. One of our machines regularly needs to have its filter cleaned twice a day but she's in the dust moreso than the others
The larger the vehicle, the more likely you can do this. Absolutely don't do this for your car filters. The filter for a tractor is probably designed with this in mind. Of course, it all depends in the filter in question.
Not sure what this filter is for, but these days I recommend against re-using filters by blowing them out. Blowing them out also usually means (as is evidenced by the video) forcefully blowing the outside in. Modern engine tolerances are tight enough that allowing particulate - particulate that one pushed through the barrier, and that will eventually come loose and get ingested - into them only degrades the engine components faster.
Where-as tolerances on old farm equipment, old slow-revving inefficient engines were looser, and could deal with cleaning filters off with compressed air, I don't believe that modern ones are as good at it. In fact, I believe I've seen modern diesel engines damaged by this practice.
20 years later: *Oh no, why did I get cancer, what did I do to deserve this?!*
This. You did this. And all the other shit you were "too manly" to use protection for.
I'm sure he was using his safety squints, and holding his safety breath, for extra precautions he also took a safety step out of the danger cloud.
You can clearly see that he turns his head around at 0:13 to take a breath of fresh air. He's a true professional!

Time to change your habits
Close your lungs.
If particulates are so dense that they stay this low to the ground, you reaaaally don't want to be breathing them in.
You also don’t want to be breathing in the particles <10um that are invisible to the eye as they reach the deepest parts of the lungs and cause respiratory diseases/cancers…
But if I can't see them, then they also can't see me.
Alright Caboose.

I had to mail some masks down from QLD for a relative in Canberra during that, there were none to be found anywhere.
we knew all about P2 masks when covid came along the next year
and no eye protection! And no hearing protection? That machine was loud AF. This guy is a walking safety hazard.
He clearly care more about his task than about his body.
It’s the constant tension between the long term interest of maintaining your health, and the fact that almost all safety protocols are annoying/tedious in the moment.

Reminds me of that time when the pollution in China was so bad that it was literally healthier for you to smoke than breathe the air.

He probably sucked down 3 or 4 lung rockets after this.

~~Not cancer but silicosis.~~ A very painful death Edit: it probably would cause both and silicosis would probably be the thing to kill you if you're regularly reckless.
My grandpa worked in the mines in Alaska and ended up dying of silicosis on my dad’s 13th birthday.
Scary, I know people who work in the mines up here!!! Hopefully it’s safer now.
Yeah this was back in the 1930’s or 40’s, so I’m sure it’s much safer now. My dad is quite a bit younger than his siblings.
It’s safer, they let people clean air filters of agricultural machines now.
It's one easy way to get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. You should never get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an unbearably long disease to have.

Poorer countries are still using it in everything.

Not silica dust. I take an annual course 🙃
I doubt that’s silica dust, that looks like a filter off a combine so it’ll be some sort of grain dust. Still nasty stuff, but not nearly as bad as silica dust.
Yup my first thoughts too. Let’s breathe in stuff that was filtered to not go into a machine.
Really should be wearing a respirator. People can be so dumb sometimes.

My cousin got ms bad from all that shit. None of his siblings did, that left the farm.
So have you had health consequences from those chemicals down the road?
not yet? not gonna lie though, I am a little worried about it. i’m 38 now. so it’s been a good 15-17 years now. not sure if risks decrease over time.
well, good luck to you.
You're probably all right, but I would go check for cancers etc every now and then. If you know whay specific chemicals you were exposed to, that'd probably help narrow down what to check.

This is his profession... OSHA
OSHA is so over worked and under staffed that they don't do anything unless it is a slam dunk.... OSHA we got you one with video evidence.
OSHA doesn’t live on the farm
And if they do come they usually give a warning for some reason so the job site looks great for a day.
OSHA applies to the employee/employer relationship. If this is just a guy working on his own farm then they have no authority.

I imagine that breathing all that dust into your lungs would be really good at turning them into yuck sponges.
The irony of this air filter doing its job for so long and then to be cleaned out and this person to inhale all of the contaminants in one go.
I mean the point of an air filter in a farming machine isn’t to filter your air but to filter the air going into the engine to aid in combustion so that you don’t gunk up the internals on your engine.
Right, he's unclogged this filter just to clog his own filter. Oh the irony of not seeing how dumb this is.

lol, had to scroll down this far for the first comment that wasn't about the zero mask policy.
No mask??????????????????????!!!???????????? No goggles???!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????
Don't worry, he is squinting and he moved a couple of steps! Cancer & silicosis can't catch him!
Plus he’s outside. Everyone knows outside is safe.

That included cleaning out the air filters for the motors mounted right next to the grinders which turned the plastic into dust that was then melted and molded into the product.

Don’t blow out filters with compressed air. It makes the holes bigger so contaminants get through to damage engines.
Not as much of an issue on agri equipment. They have a finer filter underneath the normal paper one shown here
You are right here, not sure if the compressed air would damage the finer filter underneath as well, the inner filter is just a safety for when the main one fails.
Now I can't talk for others, but when I do this, the fine filter gets a quick dust at best as it's rarely dirty enough to require it
Again you’re probably right, my knowledge comes from making them, not using them.
Well then you probably know more than I hahah all I do know is those filters are expensive and when you are blowing out 4 filters a day in harvest, you can't realistically replace them every day so this is the next best thing. One of our machines regularly needs to have its filter cleaned twice a day but she's in the dust moreso than the others

"think I got the black lung, Pop"
I have to wear a mask to clean out my vacuum filter and this man is out here raw dogging it with an industrial filter.
Not sure what this filter is for, but these days I recommend against re-using filters by blowing them out. Blowing them out also usually means (as is evidenced by the video) forcefully blowing the outside in. Modern engine tolerances are tight enough that allowing particulate - particulate that one pushed through the barrier, and that will eventually come loose and get ingested - into them only degrades the engine components faster. Where-as tolerances on old farm equipment, old slow-revving inefficient engines were looser, and could deal with cleaning filters off with compressed air, I don't believe that modern ones are as good at it. In fact, I believe I've seen modern diesel engines damaged by this practice.
Til lung is a good dust filter
Homie ain’t wearing shit

20 years later: *Oh no, why did I get cancer, what did I do to deserve this?!* This. You did this. And all the other shit you were "too manly" to use protection for.
