Default Does Glass bead cause silicosis or is it harmful?

I currently blast with glassbead/alum oxide mix, and at times dont wear a respirator. Will the dust caused from either cause silicosis? Just a thought that popped into my head when it struck me glass itself is made of silicone, or so i think.....Any info towards this would be appreciated as i'd like to avoid dieing or getting sick
