Many people don't realize how dangerous small particles can be over many years. Something that doesn't seem dangerous can cause scars on lung tissue with constant exposure to it over many years. My dad has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF it's probably from breathing in small particles over the years which causes scarring of lung tissue. Although the idiopathic part means how it occurs is not known for sure. He worked a blue collar job and often breathed in dust from various things. Lungs are only for air don't mess with your lungs!
