Crushed dolomite can cause respiratory issues, the Department of Health warned Monday, days after the environment department began dumping artificial white sand nearby Manila Bay. “Ang dolomite po is a form of a rock na meron pong mga sinasabi sa mga pag-aaral na kapag na-inhale natin ito mga tao, may mga adverse reactions, respiratory mainly,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said during a virtual briefing. (Dolomite is a form of rock, which according to studies, if a person inhales it, it can have adverse reactions, respiratory mainly.)
