Best Answer

Inhalation of cast iron dust causes deposition of iron in the lung, resulting in a condition called pneumosiderosis (also referred to as siderosis or Welder's lung) (McLaughlin, 1951; Sutherland et al., 2000; CCOHS, 2002; Khalid et al., 2009). Pneumosideros presents after chronic exposure to iron dust and symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing and development of sputum (Khalid et al., 2009).

Why is pneumoconiosis called black lung?

Because the inhaled dusts cause darkening of the lung tissue, the disease is also known as black lung.Pneumoconiosis refers to a lung condition in which fibrosis, or scarring of the lungs, occurs. The name of the pneumoconiosis depends upon the typed of dust inhaled which causes the lung scarring. For example - asbestosis is caused by breathing asbestos fibres. When the condition is caused by breathing in coal dust - the condition is known as coal miner's pneumoconiosis or black lung. The coal dust is black and the scarring of the lungs is also black.
