• "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.
