Coal workers’ pneumoconiosis is an environmental lung disease that results from inhaling coal dust or graphite over a long time, usually 20 years or more. Although coal dust is relatively inert and does not provoke much reaction, it spreads throughout the lungs and shows up as tiny spots on an x-ray. Coal dust may block the airways.

Purpose of review: Coal mining remains a major industry that has workers at risk for developing chronic lung disease. Aside from simple coal workers' pneumoconiosis and progressive massive fibrosis, the development of emphysema and obstructive lung disease independent of smoking may be underappreciated. This article reviews more recent studies that may help rectify this faulty view.

Pneumoconiosis - Lung disease

The term 'pneumoconiosis' refers to a group of lung diseases caused by the inhalation - and retention in the lungs - of dusts. The most commonly occurring types of pneumoconiosis (apart from asbestosis) are coal worker's pneumoconiosis, arising from the inhalation of coal dust, and silicosis, arising from the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (RCS). There is a long delay - up to ten ...

Silicosis is a lung disease similar to coal workers pneumoconiosis in that it causes scarring to the lungs. Causes: Silicosis is caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica or quartz dust. Respirable crystalline silica can cause fibrous or scar tissue to form in the lungs (silica induced pneumoconiosis) that reduces the lung’s ability to extract oxygen from the air. Respirable ...
