The San Fernando Valley is the epicenter of the disease, with clusters of these businesses, numbering over 100 of the approximately 285 fabrication facilities in Los Angeles, located in the industrial areas of Pacoima, Sun Valley, the city of San Fernando and Van Nuys.

Inhaling silica dust causes lung inflammation and scarring, which can lead to severe lung disease, difficulty breathing and death.
