Infodemiological data concerning silicosis in the USA in the period 2004–2010 correlating with real-world statistical data

This article reports data concerning silicosis-related web-activities using Google Trends (GT) capturing the Internet behavior in the USA for the period 2004–2010. GT-generated data were then compared with the most recent available epidemiological data of silicosis mortality obtained from the Center...
