Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis

Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis, often called "black lung disease," is a respiratory condition caused by inhaling coal dust over time. When coal miners breathe in this fine dust, it can accumulate in the lungs, leading to inflammation, scarring, and difficulty in breathing. Symptoms often include coughing and shortness of breath. This condition is part of a group of diseases known as occupational lung diseases, which arise due to exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. Preventive measures, such as using masks and improving ventilation, are essential to protect workers' lung health.
