Overview
Because the various pneumoconiosis present after exposure to specific particles and dust, their historical perspective varies according to the antigen. Generally, once patients began to present following exposure to a particle, safety measures and awareness followed. [1]
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- There is evidence in ancient Egypt and Greece for a disease caused by silica inhalation. [2]
- Berylliosis was coined in 1946, when fluorescent lamp workers began presenting with pulmonary granulomatous diseases. [3]
Impact on Cultural History
- Many countries have banned the use of asbestosis and the United States has significantly decreased its use since the 1970s. [4]
- The UK limited its use of silica since 1949. [5]
