- Chronic respiratory disease caused by inhaling metallic or mineral particles
- Respiratory tract and lung condition caused by inhalation and retention of irritant mineral or metallic particles.
- Health conditions characterized by permanent deposition of substantial amounts of particulate matter in the lungs and by the tissue reaction to its presence; can range from relatively harmless forms of sclerosis to the destructive fibrotic effect of silicosis.
- Fibrosis and scarring of the lungs as a result of repeated inhalation of occupationally associated dust, such as silica, asbestos, and coal dust.
- A group of lung diseases caused by inhaling dust. In practice industrial exposure to coal dust, silica, and asbestos produces most of the cases of pneumoconiosis.
- An occupational disease occurring in mines, quarries and other workplaces where some types of dust are prevalent. It is fibrosis of the lungs caused by asbestos, silica and other types of dust.
- Loss of lung capacity caused by an accumulation of dust in the lungs. types may include asbestosis (abnormal condition of asbestos in the lungs), silicosis (abnormal accumulation of glass dust in the lungs), and anthracosis (abnormal accumulation of coal dust in the lungs- also knwon as black ...
- This is the name given to lung diseases that result from years of exposure to different environmental or occupational types of dust. (28)
