The specific form of the disease depends on the type of dust inhaled:
Caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust, common in sandblasting, quarrying, and stone cutting. pneumonoconiosis
Pneumoconiosis is a group of interstitial lung diseases caused by the chronic inhalation of mineral or metallic dust particles, which results in permanent inflammation and irreversible scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue. Primarily an occupational disease, it is most commonly found in industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing. The specific form of the disease depends on
Berylliosis (beryllium), siderosis (iron), and stannosis (tin). Classification and Symptoms The disease is categorized by its severity: Pneumoconiosis and Chronic Diseases: A Narrative Review common in sandblasting
Also known as "black lung disease," caused by long-term exposure to coal mine dust.
Resulting from asbestos fiber inhalation, often seen in shipbuilding and insulation work.
