    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonoultramicroscopicsi...

    Any references on the internet to pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis or silicosis being caused by 'sharp particles [which] lacerate lining of lungs; causing victim to leak air from their lungs while simultaneously bleeding into their lung cavity' [13] are inaccurate. Particles of a size able to enter the lung (< 10 μm ...

  4. Pneumoconiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumoconiosis

    Silicosis (also known as "grinder's disease" or Potter's rot) – crystalline silica dust; Bauxite fibrosis – bauxite; Berylliosis – beryllium; Siderosis – iron; Byssinosis – Byssinosis is caused by cotton dust inhalation and typically demonstrates a different pattern of lung abnormalities from most other pneumoconiosis. [1]

  5. Occupational lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_lung_disease

    Exposure to silica can cause Silicosis, which is a fibrosing interstitial lung disease caused by inhaling fine particles of silica, most commonly in the form of quartz or cristobalite. Short-term exposures of large amounts of silica or long-term (10 years or more) exposure of lower levels of silica can cause silicosis.

  6. Progressive massive fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_massive_fibrosis

    Progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), characterized by the development of large conglomerate masses of dense fibrosis (usually in the upper lung zones), can complicate silicosis [1] and coal worker's pneumoconiosis. [2]

  7. ILO Classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILO_Classification

    The standard radiographs provide differing types ("shape and size") and severity ("profusion") of abnormalities seen in persons with pneumoconiosis, including Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis, silicosis, and asbestosis. The reader then classifies the subject x-ray, often recording the findings on the NIOSH Roentgenographic Interpretation form.

    Hawks Nest Dam photographed in 2022. The Hawks Nest Tunnel disaster was a large-scale incident of occupational lung disease in the 1930s as the result of the construction of the Hawks Nest Tunnel near Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, as part of a hydroelectric project.

  9. Pulmonary talcosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_talcosis

    Pulmonary talcosis is a pulmonary disorder caused by talc.. It has been related to silicosis resulting from inhalation of talc and silicates. It is also tied to heroin use where talc might be used as an adulterant to increase weight and street value. [1]
