- Asbestosis - asbestos dust
- Silicosis (also known as "grinhelloders' disease") - silica dust
- Bauxite fibrosis - bauxite dust
- Berylliosis - beryllium dust
- Siderosis - iron dust
- Labrador Lung (found in miners in Labrador, Canada) - mixed dust, including iron, silica and anthophyllite, a type of asbestos
Pneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome.[1]
