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 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 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.

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.
