What is another word for black lung diseases?
Pronunciation: [blˈak lˈʌŋ dɪzˈiːzɪz] (IPA) 
Black lung diseases refer to a group of medical conditions that are caused by long-term exposure to coal dust. The most common type of this disease is coal worker's pneumoconiosis. Synonyms for this condition are anthracosis, miner's lung, or pneumoconiosis. Additionally, there are other types of pneumoconiosis, such as silicosis, that share similar symptoms to black lung disease due to their inhalation of crystalline silica. Although black lung disease is prevalent in coal miners and other workers in coal-related industries, this doesn't mean that it is limited to this category, symptomatic individuals can benefit from seeking advice from a physician who specializes in this condition.
