Black lung disease: A chronic occupational lung disease contracted by the prolonged breathing of coal mine dust. The silica and carbon in the coal dust cause black lung disease. About one of every 20 miners studied in the US has X-ray evidence of black lung disease, a form of pneumoconiosis.
There is no know cure for asbestosis, however there are several treatments available. There are drug therapies, surgery, and some home therapies that will help with the disease. Depending on the doctor there may be a combination of treatments.
People who are of the blood type B can only receive type B or type O. Type A people can receive type A or type O Type AB people can receive type A, B, or O Type O people can only receive type O
Homozygous type O parents get the type O baby
Body Type
Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust. Such as Black Lung.
Education
Dr. Bernardino Ramazzini, an Italian physician, is credited with being the first to describe pneumoconiosis in the 18th century. He specifically noted the lung disease among stonecutters and miners.
Generally, pneumoconiosis is caused by inhalation of dust over long periods of time, usually as the result of mine work or work with asbestos or ground silica.

Anthracosis, asbestosis, silicosis, siderosis.
A bagassosis is a pneumoconiosis caused by the inhalation of dust from sugarcane processing.
Coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP), is caused by inhaling coal dust.

chronic respiratory disease caused by inhaling metallic or mineral particles
a disease of the lungs due to inhalation of dust, characterized by inflammation, coughing, and fibrosis.
Anthracosis is the mild asymptomatic lung disease suffered by most urban dwellers due to air pollution. The full blown disease suffered by coalworkers is pneumoconiosis which is caused by the progressive build up of coaldust in the lungs that cannot be expelled, leading to inflammation, fibrosis and in extreme cases, necrosis of the lungs.Anthracosis
