  • "Black lung" is also known as "coal miners' pneumoconiosis". As the name suggests - this condition is most commonly associated with coal miners who breath a large amount of coal dust over a number of years into their lungs. But it is not just coal miners who suffer this condition as it is the inhalation of carbon fibres which can cause it - so any workers associated with carbon, such as grinders can suffer the condition. To read more about black lung and how to claim compensation in the UK if you have suffered from black lung see the associated link entitled "black lung disease claims".
