Black lung disease commonly affects people of which profession
Black lung disease commonly affects coal miners and people exposed to a lot of coal dust.
Explanation:
Black lung disease, also known as coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, is a type of lung disease that is caused by long-term exposure to coal dust.
It primarily affects people who work in coal mines, such as coal miners and those who work in the mining industry.
Coal dust can accumulate in the lungs, leading to inflammation, scarring, and respiratory problems.
Symptoms of black lung disease may include
1. Shortness of breath
2. Coughing
3. Chest pain
While coal miners are the most commonly affected by black lung disease, other occupations that involve exposure to coal dust, such as those working in power plants or coal transportation, may also be at risk.
