Black Lung Disease
Black Lung Disease, also known as coal workers' pneumoconiosis, is a serious lung condition caused by long-term exposure to coal dust. This disease primarily affects miners and others who work in coal mines, leading to inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain, which can worsen over time.
Preventive measures, such as using protective equipment and improving ventilation in mines, are essential to reduce the risk of developing this disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected by Black Lung Disease.
