Overview
Pneumoconiosis may be classified according to subtypes based on the particle of exposure. These can be fibrogenic, granulomatous, benign or hard metal.
- Fibrogenic: silica, coal, asbestos, talc
- Granulomatous: beryllium
- Benign: Iron, tin, barium
- Hard metal: cobalt. [1]
Classification
- Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (also known as "black lung") - coa] dust
- Asbestosis - asbestos dust
- Silicosis (also known as "grinhelloders' disease") - silica dust
- Bauxite fibrosis - bauxite dust
- Berylliosis - beryllium dust
- Siderosis - iron dust
- Labrador Lung (found in miners in Labrador, Canada) - mixed dust, including iron, silica and anthophyllite, a type of asbestos
Pneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome.[2]
