What Causes Swelling In The Throat Along With Breathing Difficulty?

I work at GM a powertrain plant we make blocks for cars, there is a lot of moon dust as we call it, well yesterday I was in the area of a blow down with a lot of the dust airborn, I got home last night my throat swelled and it was hard to take a breath, today my throat is still swollen and it hurts to talk and swallow.
