Work-Related Pneumoconiosis

Abstract
This paper is based on a general analysis of pneumoconiosis and how it is related to work. Breathing in solid particles can cause the lung disease pneumoconiosis. The inhalation of solid particles is what causes it. Exposure to particles such as asbestos, silica, and coal dust is discussed as a central factor in the genesis of the disease, resulting in complex and specific inflammatory and repair processes for each etiologic agent. The methodological design was a comprehensive literature review between the years 2000 and 2023; the texts chosen were in the English language and searched in PubMed and SciELO databases. Coal dust in mining represents a risk, especially for workers in coal transportation and use, as well as for those involved in mineral excavation and mining. Silicosis, a disease linked to miners, resurfaces due to a lack of understanding of modern work practices.
