Research progress on role of programmed cell death in silicosis and its possible mechanisms
环境与职业医学, 2023 Silicosis is a common occupational disease caused by long-term inhalation of large amounts of free SiO2 dust and deposition in lung tissues, characterized by the formation of silicon nodules and diffuse fibrosis of lung tissues.

Identification of inclusions in lung tissue with a Raman microprobe [PDF]
, 1984 Inhaled particles smaller than 4 μm can cause damage to lung tissue, a disease called silicosis. We present an investigation on the use of a Raman microspectrometer for the identification of inclusions in lung tissue.
