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 ...
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]
Siderosis is the deposition of excess iron in body tissue. When used without qualification, it usually refers to an environmental disease of the lung, also known more specifically as pulmonary siderosis or Welder's disease, which is a form of pneumoconiosis.

Fumed silica with surface area of 130 m 2 /g . Fumed silica (CAS number 7631-86-9, also 112945-52-5), also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in a flame, consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles which then agglomerate into tertiary particles.
