Miner's Lung is a type of occupational lung disease caused by long-term exposure to certain dusts in the air. It is also known as Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis (CWP) or Black Lung Disease. Health effects of miner's lung include coughing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. The disease can lead to serious medical conditions, including respiratory failure and death. Treatment for miner's lung involves avoiding further exposure to dust and taking medications to relieve symptoms.

Miners lung is a type of lung disease caused by long-term exposure to dust and other airborne pollutants in coal mines. It is also known as Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis (CWP) or black lung disease. The dust particles irritate the lungs and cause inflammation and scarring, leading to respiratory symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Long-term exposure can cause permanent damage and can even be fatal. Treatment includes avoiding exposure to dust, medications to reduce inflammation and improve breathing, and in severe cases, lung transplantation.

Miner's lung is a type of occupational lung disease caused by long-term inhalation of coal dust. It is also known as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) or black lung disease. It is an interstitial lung disease characterized by scarring of the lung tissue due to the inhalation of coal dust particles.

The most common symptom of miners lung is a persistent cough with mucus production. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, chest tightness, and wheezing. In more severe cases, miners may experience chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, and an increased risk of respiratory infections.

Miner's lung is a serious and progressive condition. When left untreated, it can lead to permanent lung damage and disability. Treatment typically includes avoiding further exposure to coal dust, quitting smoking, taking medications to reduce inflammation, and using oxygen therapy.

The name miners lung is derived from the fact that the condition is caused by the inhalation of coal dust particles. It is an occupational hazard for miners who are exposed to coal dust over long periods of time. The name is also used to refer to other types of lung diseases caused by inhalation of dust particles, such as silicosis and asbestosis.
