	Pneumoconiosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pneumoconiosis, also known as miner's lung, is a lung condition caused by the inhalation of dust, characterized by formation of nodular fibrotic changes in lungs.
		Depending on the type of dust, variants of the disease are considered.
		The term "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" was coined in 1935 as the putative longest word in the English language, but means exactly the same as pneumoconiosis.

	HSE - STATISTICS: Coalworkers' Pneumoconiosis and Silicosis,...
		Most new compensated cases of pneumoconiosis (excluding asbestosis) occur in retired workers, the majority from the coal mining industry; other industries affected are quarrying, foundries and potteries, where silica is the predominant cause.
		The most commonly occurring type of pneumoconiosis (apart from asbestosis) is coal workers' pneumoconiosis, arising from the inhalation of coal dust.
		In particular, pneumoconiosis awards are known to have been affected by the introduction of benefit for coal miners with chronic bronchitis and emphysema in September 1993, and the changes to the eligibility criteria for these diseases in 1997.

		Medical pneumoconiosis is "the lung disease caused by the fibrotic reaction of the lung tissue to inhaled dust.
		Legal pneumoconiosis., [sic] however, is much broader and "refers to all lung diseases which meet the statutory or regulatory definition of being any lung disease which is significantly related to, or substantially aggravated by, dust exposure in coal mine." Id.
		The Agency further explains that an "ancillary" pulmonary condition is a pulmonary condition that is unrelated to pneumoconiosis except to the extent that it contributes, along with the pneumoconiosis, to the total pulmonary disability.

		The authors suggest that pneumoconiosis at all stages progresses, based on ``dust loading in the lung, and once this has reached some critical level, it is not much affected by removal from exposure.'' Bates at p.
		The effect of the disease or trauma, its relationship to the miner's ability to breathe, and the interplay with the miner's pneumoconiosis, all determine the contributing causes of the miner's disability.
		For example, where the operator argued in the prior claim that the miner was not totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis arising out of coal mine employment, it may not, in an attempt to rebut the presumption of a change in the miner's condition, argue that substantial evidence in the prior claim supported a benefit award.

		Many persons with early pneumoconiosis are asymptomatic, but advanced disease often is accompanied by disability and premature death.
		For this report, pneumoconiosis deaths were identified during 1968--2000, the most recent year for which complete data are available, and include any death certificates for which an International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code* for CWP, silicosis, asbestosis, or unspecified/other pneumoconiosis was listed as either the underlying or contributing cause of death.
		The decline in overall pneumoconiosis mortality is attributed to reductions in CWP, silicosis, and other/unspecified pneumoconiosis mortality.

		Such collagenous pneumoconiosis may be caused by fibrogenic dusts or by an altered tissue response to a non-fibrogenic dust.
		Examples of collagenous pneumoconiosis caused by fibrogenic dusts are silicosis and asbestosis, whereas complicated coal-workers' pneumoconiosis or progressive massive fibrosis (PMF) is an altered tissue response to a relatively non-fibrogenic dust.

		To investigate the frequency of TNF2 in patients who have coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and to determine whether it is associated with development of a large opacity in CWP, we investigated the expression ofthe TNF2 allele in 80 patients who had CWP and in 54 healthy controls using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

		The expression pneumoconiosis, from the Greek pneuma (air, wind) and konis (dust), was coined in Germany by Zenker in 1867 to denote changes in the lungs caused by the retention of inhaled dust.
		A new ILO definition of pneumoconiosis was adopted at the Fourth International Conference on Pneumoconiosis, Bucharest, 1971: "Pneumoconiosis is the accumulation of dust in the lungs and the tissue reactions to its presence.
		There are in addition occupational chronic pulmonary diseases which, although they develop from the inhalation of dust, are excluded from pneumoconiosis because the particles are not known to accumulate in the lungs.

		(4) However, survivors are not eligible for benefits where the miner's death was caused by a traumatic injury or the principal cause of death was a medical condition not related to pneumoconiosis, unless the evidence establishes that pneumoconiosis was a substantially contributing cause of death.
		The initial burden is upon the claimant, with the assistance of the district director, to develop evidence which meets the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section.
		Where the initial medical evidence appears to establish that death was due to pneumoconiosis, the survivor will receive benefits unless the weight of the evidence as subsequently developed by the Department or the responsible operator establishes that the miner's death was not due to pneumoconiosis as defined above.
