Overview
Pneumoconiosis is caused by the inhalation of airborne dust and fibers that are either organic or inorganic. The specific cause depends on the specific pneumoconiosis. [1]
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of pneumoconiosis may include: [2] [3] [4]
- Silicosis - silica
- Coalworker's pneumoconiosis
- Asbestosis - asbestos fibers
- Berylliosis - beryllium dust
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of pneumoconiosis include: [2] [3] [4] [5]
- Talcosis - talc
- Siderosis - iron
- Hard metal pneumoconiosis
- Byssinosis - cotton
