Coalworker pneumoconiosis - what does this mean
Coalworker pneumoconiosis (cwp) is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust particles. it is characterized by the accumulation of coal dust particles in the lungs, leading to inflammation, scarring, and fibrosis. symptoms of cwp include shortness of breath, coughing, chest pain, and fatigue. cwp is a preventable disease, and regular use of protective equipment and proper ventilation can help reduce exposure to coal dust.
What happens during the disease - coalworker pneumoconiosis
Coalworker pneumoconiosis is a type of occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust particles. the particles are small enough to reach the alveoli of the lungs, where they become trapped and accumulate. over time, the accumulation of particles leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and the formation of nodules. the resulting scarring of the lung tissue reduces the ability of the lungs to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, leading to shortness of breath and other respiratory symptoms.
