Pneumoconiosis:

Fibrotic diseases of the lungs caused by inhalation of dusts
Coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP), from coal mine dust
Severe form is Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF)
Silicosis, from silica dust
Both can lead to disability and premature mortality
Very difficult to distinguish between them on the x-ray

Thanks, TO
