Overview
Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust. Depending on the type of dust, variants of the disease are considered. Frequent types are asbestosis, coal miner's lung, silicosis, and berylliosis. Rare types include siderosis, byssinosis, and talcosis. [1] Pneumoconiosis involve the particles causing irreversible lung damage and there is heavy emphasis on prevention through safety precautions at workplace settings. [2]
