Chronic scarring lung disease caused by the accumulation of asbestos, coal, silica, and other fibrogenic dusts.
chronic respiratory disease caused by inhaling metallic or mineral particles
Scarring of the lungs caused by certain types of dust.
Pneumoconiosis is a lung disease resulting in fibrosis and scarring caused by long-term inhalation of dangerous materials such as metallic or mineral dust. Asbestosis and silicosis are forms of pneumoconiosis.
Fibrosis and scarring of the lungs as a result of repeated inhalation of respiratory irritants, such as asbestos.
Primarily an occupational disease of miners, sandblasters and metal grinders. A chronic disease of the lungs, it is a result of repeated inhalation and accumulation of dust in the lungs leading to loss of lung function and possibly heart failure.
an inflammatory-fibrotic lung disease, such as silicosis or asbestosis; the character of the fibrosis is dependent on the composition and amount of inhaled dust.
Health conditions characterized by permanent deposition of substantial amounts of particulate matter in the lungs and by the tissue reaction to its presence; can range from relatively harmless forms of sclerosis to the destructive fibrotic effect of silicosis.
Fibrosis and scarring of the lungs as a result of repeated inhalation of dust like silica, asbestos and coal dust.
Producing Dust - Dust that when inhaled, deposited, and retained in the lungs, may produce signs, symptoms, and findings of pulmonary disease.
Usually fibrosis of the lungs that develops owing to (prolonged) inhalation of inorganic or organic dusts. Cause-specific types of pneumoconiosis
a lung disease caused by the long-term breathing (ingestion) of dust.
Refers to any condition of the lung caused by the chronic inhalation of dust, particularly mineral dusts of occupational and environmental origin. Silicosis and asbestosis are types of pneumoconioses.
Any of several lung diseases caused by inhaling particles of industrial substances.
Pneumoconiosis, also known as miner's lung, is a lung condition caused by the inhalation of dust, characterized by formation of nodular fibrotic changes in lungs. Many substances can cause pneumoconiosis including asbestos,talc, kaolinite and other metal compounds.
