Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust, often associated with volcanic ash and industrial exposure. It is a form of pneumoconiosis, a broader category of lung diseases resulting from the inhalation of various types of dust. The term is often cited as one of the longest words in the English language and is used more for its length than in common medical practice. Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, and lung inflammation, similar to other dust-related lung diseases.
