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 (also known as "black lung") - coa] dust
• Asbestosis - asbestos dust
• Silicosis (also known as "grinhelloders' disease") - silica dust
• Bauxite fibrosis - bauxite dust
• Berylliosis - beryllium dust
• Siderosis - iron dust
• Labrador Lung (found in miners in Labrador, Canada) - mixed dust, including iron, silica and anthophyllite, a type of asbestos

Pneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome.^[1]
