Pneumocephalus

Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust. Depending on the type of dust, variants of the disease are considered.Types include:* Coalworker's pneumoconiosis - coal dust* Asbestosis - asbestos dust* Silicosis - silica dust* Bauxite fibrosis - bauxite dust* Berylliosis - beryllium dust* Siderosis - iron dust* Byssinosis - cotton dust* Labrador Lung - mixed dust, including iron, silica and anthophyllite, a type of asbestosPneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome.
