pneumoconiosis any disease of the lung caused by chronic inhalation of dust, usually mineral dust of occupational or environmental origin. Some kinds of pneumoconioses are anthracosis, asbestosis, silicosis.

Airborne Diseases Airborne microbes, allergens and chemicals cause respiratory disease - inflammation in the nose, throat, sinuses, upper airway and the lung. Many infections are acquired by inhalation of pathogens that may remain in the respiratory system but also invade the rest of the body through lymphatic and blood circulations. Upper airway inflammation is often expressed congestion, coughs and sore throats. Air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, plays a significant role in the exacerbation of airway disease in asthmatics and may contribute to the overall increase in asthma morbidity.

Learn About Silicosis 1 In chronic silicosis, the silica dust causes areas of swelling in the lungs and chest lymph nodes, which makes breathing more difficult. 2  In accelerated silicosis, swelling in the lungs and symptoms occur faster than in chronic silicosis.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology Program Airborne Diseases. Airborne diseases are caused by pathogenic microbes small enough to be discharged from an infected person via coughing, sneezing, laughing and close personal contact or aerosolization of the microbe. The discharged microbes remain suspended in the air on dust particles, respiratory and water droplets.recautions that create a barrier and procedures that decrease or eliminate the microbe in the environment or on personal belongings, form the basis of interrupting transmission of direct contact diseases. 1  Anthrax-A serious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bacterium that forms spores.

Airborne disease Airborne diseases can be spread via respiratory droplets expelled from the mouth and nose. An airborne disease is any disease that is caused by pathogens and transmitted through the air.Such diseases include many that are of considerable importance both in human and veterinary medicine.or example, Newcastle disease is an avian disease that affects many types of domestic poultry worldwide which is transmitted via airborne contamination. Often, airborne pathogens or allergens cause inflammation in the nose, throat, sinuses, and the upper airway lungs.

Pneumoconiosis Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease and a restrictive lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust, often in mines.In 2013 it resulted in 260,000 deaths up from 251,000 deaths in 1990.epending upon the type of dust, the disease is given different names: 1  Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (also known as miner's lung, black lung or anthracosis) — coal, carbon. 2  Asbestosis — asbestos. 3  Silicosis (also known as grinder's disease or Potter's rot) — silica.

Byssinosis Also called brown lung disease, byssinosis results from inhaling particles of cotton, flax, hemp, or jute. Description. Although inhaling cotton dust was identified as a source of respiratory disease more than 300 years ago, byssinosis has been recognized as an occupational hazard for textile workers for less than 50 years.

- What is Silicosis? Silicosis is the chronic fibrosing disease of the lungs produced by the prolonged and extensive exposure to free crystalline silica dust. When workers inhale crystalline silica (dust), the lung tissue reacts by developing fibrotic nodules and scarring around the trapped silica particles.

What Are Symptoms of Dust Pneumonia? Cough. One of the initial symptoms of dust pneumonia is coughing. The cough is the body's natural response to forcing dirt and debris out of the airways and lungs. Beginning as a dry cloth, the lungs work against the debris and uses mucus to attempt to force the dirt and particles out.ne of the initial symptoms of dust pneumonia is coughing.

Learn About Byssinosis Go back to Patient Education Resources. Byssinosis is a lung disease caused by occupational exposure to dust from cotton, hemp or flax. These dusts cause lung disease by obstructing the small air tubes. Byssinosis can cause symptoms like asthma but may also cause more permanent lung damage similar to chronic obstructive lung disease.

- Byssinosis, also called brown lung disease or Monday fever, is an occupational lung disease caused by exposure to cotton dust in inadequately ventilated working environments. [1] Byssinosis commonly occurs in workers who are employed in yarn and fabric manufacture industries. It is not thought that the cotton dust directly causes the disease and some believe that the causative agents are endotoxins that come from the cell walls of gram negative bacteria that grow on the cotton.

Trypanosomiasis, human African (sleeping sickness) Definition of the disease. Human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne parasitic disease. It is caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. They are transmitted to humans by tsetse fly (Glossina genus) bites which have acquired their infection from human beings or from animals harbouring human pathogenic parasites.

Illnesses from Dust The most dangerous kinds of dust are coal dust, which causes black lung disease, and silica dust, which causes silicosis. Dust that contains asbestos (which causes asbestosis) or heavy metals is also dangerous.

African trypanosomiasis African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei. There are two types that infect humans, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (TbG) and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (TbR). TbG causes over 98% of reported cases. Both are usually transmitted by the bite of an infected tsetse fly and are most common in rural areas. Initially, in the first stage of the disease, there are fevers, headaches, itchiness, and joint pains. This begins one to three weeks after the bite.

Dust Mites It is an established fact that dust mites can be found in house dust all over the world. Dust mites are not insects but are more closely related to spiders and ticks. There are two common dust mites, the American house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae) and the European house dust mite (D. pteronyssinus). Due to their very small size, these dust mites are not visible to the naked eye. They pass through six developmental stages, and the adult form may also molt once.

Asian Dust Asian Dust is a meteorological phenomenon which affects much of East Asia year round but especially during the spring months. The dust originates in the deserts of Mongolia, northern China and Kazakhstan where high-speed surface winds and intense dust storms kick up dense clouds of fine, dry soil particles. These clouds are then carried eastward by prevailing winds and pass over China, North and South Korea, and Japan, as well as parts of the Russian Far East. Sometimes, the airborne particulate
