Anthracosis caused by asbestos porticles in lungs?

Anthracosis, often associated with coal dust exposure, can occur due to the inhalation of various particulate matter, including asbestos fibers. Asbestos exposure leads to the accumulation of fibrous material in the lungs, which can cause inflammation and scarring, contributing to respiratory issues. While anthracosis primarily refers to the black lung disease caused by coal dust, the presence of asbestos can exacerbate lung conditions and increase the risk of developing more severe diseases such as asbestosis and lung cancer. Proper protective measures are crucial for individuals at risk of exposure to these harmful particles.
