PNEUMOCONIOSIS
.
.
Pneumoconiosis is a disease of the lungs caused by the breathing in of tiny particles. A variety of particles such as asbestos, silicon, talc, coal and iron can cause the disease. Over time, the inflammation caused by these particles produces fibrous material in the lungs and results in scarring.
.
.
This process makes it difficult to breath. The risk of developing pneumoconiosis is related to exposure to the damaging particles. Therefore, occupations such as miners, foundry workers and welders are at a greater risk.
.
.
There is no specific treatment for pneumoconiosis. Instead, treatment is directed at using medications to open the bronchial tubes (Albuterol), reduce inflammation (inhaled steroids) and treat bronchial infections if they develop (antibiotics).

Some individuals may need supplemental oxygen and in very severe cases lung transplants may be needed.
