Pathology and Mineralogy of the Pneumoconioses
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023AbstractPneumoconioses represent the spectrum of lung diseases caused by inhalation of respirable particulate matter small enough (typically <5-µm diameter) to reach the terminal airways and alveoli. Pneumoconioses primarily occur in occupational settings where workers perform demanding and skilled manual labor including mining, construction, stone ...

Pneumoconiosis describes the pathological reaction of the lung to inhaled dust, which is most frequently, but not necessarily, one of fibrosis, and most often, but not exclusively, related to exposures occurring at work. It may be more formally defined as a permanent alteration of lung structure due to the inhalation of mineral dust and the tissue ...

The pneumoconioses are by and large industrial diseases, although casual contact may be important on occasion, particularly with asbestos. The effect of dust on the lung ranges from only radiographic changes to severe functional impairment. Destruction and fibrosis of lung parenchyma may be the end result in severe disease.

The inorganic dust pneumoconioses
Clinical Reviews in Allergy, 1985Collectively, the pneumoconioses represent a spectrum of pulmonary diseases initiated by inorganic dust exposure. Although multiple humoral and cellular immune alterations have been demonstrated in these interstitial and commonly fibrotic lung diseases, the exact role of immune changes in disease pathogenesis presently is undefined.

The initial early reaction of pulmonary tissue to inorganic dust inhalation is a fibrosing macrophagic alveolitis. This initial pulmonary lesion can be detected by an enhanced gallium 67 pulmonary uptake and analyses of bronchoalveolar lavage. These two techniques can document not only the increased proliferation of macrophages, but also the activation

The past and present of pneumoconioses
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2000Pneumoconioses are still a common cause of chronic lung disease. In industrialized countries, improvements in working conditions and dust control measures have led to a decrease in the incidence of severe forms of silicosis, coal worker pneumoconiosis, and parenchymal asbestosis.

PNEUMOCONIOSE RELACIONADA AO TRABALHO NO BRASIL: SUBNOTIFICAÇÃO NO PERÍODO PRÉ E PANDÊMICO [PDF]
INTRODUÇÃO: A pneumoconiose trata-se da degeneração fibrótica do tecido pulmonar resultante da inalação de partículas sólidas no ambiente de trabalho, sendo as principais partículas a sílica, o amianto e poeira de carvão.

The pneumoconioses result from an inflammatory reaction in the lung to inhaled mineral dusts. The more common agents include coal dust, silica, asbestos, beryllium, iron oxide, barium sulfate, tin oxide, and aluminium. Increasing recognition is leading to a reduced prevalence through better worker protection.
