Coal workers' pneumoconiosis is a lung disease caused by deposits of coal dust in the lungs. People generally have no symptoms, but people who have severe disease cough and become short of breath. Chest x-rays and computed tomography are used to make the diagnosis. Prevention by minimizing exposure is important.

Silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) are occupational lung diseases; silicosis is caused by continued exposure to excessive amounts of respirable silica, and CWP is caused by exposure to carbonaceous material (anthracosis).

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known as black lung disease or black lung, is caused by long-term exposure to coal dust.It is common in coal miners and others who work with coal. It is similar to both silicosis from inhaling silica dust and to the long-term effects of tobacco smoking.

CWP, commonly called black lung, affects workers in coal mining. Silicosis can affect workers in many types of mines and quarries, including coal mines. Medical treatment cannot cure these diseases, so preventing them – through controlling respirable dust exposure – is essential.

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly known as "black lung disease," occurs when coal dust is inhaled. Over time, continued exposure to the coal dust causes scarring in the lungs, impairing your ability to breathe. Considered an occupational lung disease, it is most common among coal miners.

Mine dust lung diseases (MDLD), including Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis (CWP), are respiratory diseases caused by long-term exposure to fine, respirable coal dust. CWP can take more than 10 years of prolonged dust exposure to develop and even longer to show symptoms. It is important

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis, or black lung disease, progresses slowly over time and develops when worker's lungs react to dust particles that the body cannot destroy. The lungs are in a chronic state of inflammation and develop abnormal growths, causing difficulty of breathing, and the inability to do normal daily tasks as well as before.
