Silicosis is a chronic pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation of silica-containing aerosols, which contain free silicon dioxide. The main mechanism of its pathogenesis is an inflammatory reaction with the formation of fibrous nodules in the lungs. With prolonged exposure to quartz dust, a gradual loss of the functional capacity of the lung tissue occurs, which leads to severe clinical manifestations such as shortness of breath, cough, decreased physical activity and, ultimately, to the development of respiratory failure. Silicosis is considered one of the most studied occupational diseases, especially among workers in mining, construction and other industries associated with high levels of dust formation.<\/p>\n
