What is the common name for black lung

[DigitalExplorer]

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a question I have. What is the common name for black lung? I'm doing research for a school project and I'm having a hard time finding the answer.

I know black lung is a type of lung disease caused by long-term exposure to coal dust, but I'm not sure what the common name for it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kara Akciğer: Kara akciğer, işçiler tarafından kömür içeren ortamlarda solunan havadan kaynaklanan bir hastalık olarak tanımlanır. Solunan hava, işçilerin akciğerlerinin içinde kömür tozunu içerdiği için bu hastalık "kara akciğer" olarak adlandırılır. Hastalık kronik olup, akciğer bozukluklarına ve diğer kronik hastalıklara neden olabilir.

Hasta olma olasılıkları, işçilerin işyerinde kömür tozuna maruz kalma süresiyle doğru orantılıdır. Hastalığa karşı korunmak için, işçilerin sağlık ve güvenlik standartlarına uygun olarak, güvenli ortamlar sağlanması gerekmektedir.

The common name for black lung is coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP). CWP is an occupational lung disease caused by long-term exposure to coal dust, which is inhaled and accumulates in the lungs. It is characterized by scarring of the lungs, which can lead to shortness of breath, coughing, and other serious health problems. CWP is caused by the inhalation of coal dust, and is most common among coal miners, as they are exposed to coal dust for long periods of time. It is a serious health hazard and can be fatal if not treated.

The common name for black lung is coal worker’s pneumoconiosis (CWP), which is an occupational lung disease caused by long-term exposure to coal dust. It is most commonly found in miners and other workers who are exposed to coal dust on a regular basis. Symptoms of the disease include coughing, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and in extreme cases, even death. It is caused by the inhalation of coal dust, which can cause inflammation and scarring in the lungs.

The name "black lung" comes from the fact that the lungs of those affected by CWP become blackened due to the accumulation of coal dust. The disease has been known to miners for centuries, with reports of it as early as the 1500s. It is a major health hazard for miners, and can be fatal if left untreated.

In recent years, there have been efforts to reduce the number of cases of CWP by improving safety standards in coal mines, as well as providing workers with protective equipment. Despite these efforts, CWP is still a major problem in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries where safety standards are not as stringent.
