Sin mascarillas ni equipos de protección personal, vendían el almuerzo a los hambrientos fabricantes de piedra cubiertos de polvo tóxico de sílice.

This is part 3 of a series on silicosis. In the early afternoon, two women pulled up in a van between the rows of stone fabrication shops and opened the trunk to reveal coolers filled with tamales.

These women will continue, shop to shop, every day, unknowingly exposing themselves to a fatal lung disease.
