Pneumoconiosis - Occupational ILD

What do vapors, dusts, and airborne particles in workplace environments have in common? They are all occupational exposures that can lead to pneumoconiosis, a subgroup of interstitial lung disease. Pulmonologist Dr. Daniel Dilling of Loyola University Medical Center, a PFF Care Center site, explains that individuals in occupations involving the inhalation of mineral dust are at the highest risk for developing pneumoconiosis. The most common types of pneumoconiosis include asbestosis, silicosis, and coal workers’ pneumoconiosis. The type and timeline of exposure is an important piece of information when making the diagnosis of an occupational lung disease. Learn more about the symptoms, diagnosis, and supportive treatments for pneumoconiosis. The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) offers essential programs and resources for people with pulmonary fibrosis. The mission of the PFF is to mobilize people and resources to provide access to high quality care and to lead research for a cure so that people with PF will lead longer, healthier lives.
