Pneumoconioses are a broad group of lung diseases that result from inhalation of dust particles. It is therefore considered part of the spectrum of inhalational lung disease, and also occupational lung diseases.
Pathology
Etiology
The offending agents are mainly mineral dust. They can be broadly classified as :
- fibrotic
- non-fibrotic
