Silicosis is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust. It is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular ...
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 ...
[1] [2] The three most common types are asbestosis, silicosis, and coal miner's lung. [3] Pneumoconiosis often causes restrictive impairment, [4] although diagnosable pneumoconiosis can occur without measurable impairment of lung function. [1] [2] Depending on extent and severity, it may cause death within months or years, or it may never ...
Silicosis is causing men in their twenties and thirties to have severe disease and, in some cases, death
The pathogenesis of PMF is complicated, but involves two main routes – an immunological route, and a mechanical route. [citation needed]Immunologically, disease is caused primarily through the activity of lung macrophages, which phagocytose dust particles after their deposition.

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.
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]
