Looks to be the same disease as "black lung". (common with coal miners)
- haldujai 3y agoThey are both types of fibrotic pneumoconiosis (inhalational lung diseases) which also includes other entities such as asbestosis, berylliosis and talcosis. Not the same disease per se as there are slight differences but coal workers pneumoconiosis and silicosis are very similar given that they have a very similar inhalational dust profile.
