Pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts - what does this mean
Pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of toxic dust particles from a variety of sources, such as asbestos, silica, and coal dust. these particles can cause inflammation and scarring of the lungs, leading to a range of respiratory symptoms.
What happens during the disease - pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts
Pneumoconiosis due to other specified inorganic dusts is a type of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of certain types of inorganic dusts, such as asbestos, silica, and coal dust. these dusts can accumulate in the lungs and cause inflammation and scarring of the alveoli, resulting in decreased lung function and an increased risk of respiratory infections. over time, this can lead to permanent damage and disability.
