Description
Overview/Description
Along with the coal worker’s pneumoconiosis, also called black lung, silicosis is one of the primary respiratory diseases that has damaged the mining industry since the industrialization of drilling operations in the 20th century.
Classified as occupational lung disease, silicosis (which is itself a form of pneumoconiosis) is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica dust.
Once the dust is inhaled, it can cause permanent scarring in the lungs, resulting in symptoms like breathing problems, persistent coughing, fever and chest pains. Silicosis sufferers also face dramatically increased risks of tuberculosis infection, and medical studies also suggest an increased risk of lung cancer. The disease is irreversible and potentially fatal.
