Pneumoconiosis due to talc dust - what does this mean
Pneumoconiosis due to talc dust is a form of interstitial lung disease caused by prolonged inhalation of talc dust particles, which become lodged in the lungs and cause inflammation, scarring, and fibrosis. in severe cases, this can lead to respiratory failure.
What happens during the disease - pneumoconiosis due to talc dust
Pneumoconiosis due to talc dust is a type of interstitial lung disease caused by the inhalation of talc dust particles. these particles are deposited in the alveoli of the lungs, where they cause an inflammatory reaction that leads to fibrosis and scarring. this scarring reduces the lungs’ ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, resulting in diminished oxygenation and difficulty breathing. over time, this can lead to permanent damage to the lungs and other health problems.
