What is "silicosis"?

Silicosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust, often found in industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing. Over time, the dust builds up in the lungs, leading to inflammation and scarring. Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. In serious cases, it can cause respiratory failure and increase the risk of other lung conditions like tuberculosis. Preventive measures, such as wearing protective equipment and controlling dust exposure, are crucial for those working in high-risk environments. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing further lung damage, but there is no cure for silicosis.
