The small little fibers that people like me have inhaled while working
with 'glass', including sanding it, cause a condition known as
silicosis.  Its a scarring of the lungs wherever the minute sharp glass
fibers have lodged and couldn't be removed by the lungs.  The scarring
is a 'cordoning off' action by the lungs to this irritant and results in
diminshed oxygen utilization capacity.
