Health Law

Personal Injury
Anthracosis (Black Lung Disease, Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis) –Fibrotic lung disease resulting from the chronic inhalation of coal dust. If the coal is mined where there is also a need to mine out hard rock with its high silica content, silicosis can complicate the anthracosis. Although anthracosis produces fibrotic lung disease, the obstructive lung diseases of emphysema and chronic bronchitis can also result from anthracosis. To determine the extent of contribution of anthracosis to emphysema is difficult, because of the high percentage of people with this disorder who smoke cigarettes and therefore have emphysematous and bronchitic components separate from the anthracosis. Although this fact may have some significance in personal injury litigation, it is only important in disability determination to be aware that both obstructive and restrictive deficits can be present and to determine their combined severity. Possible symptoms include fever, night sweats, loss of appetite, malnutrition (weight loss), cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath on exertion. However, the diagnosis of simple anthracosis does not automatically imply significant symptoms or functional limitations, but as small fibrotic nodules progress to larger masses, diffuse fibrosis of the lungs may be seen, along with emphysematous changes. Masses that put pressure on lung arteries can cause pulmonary hypertension with resultant cor pulmonale and heart failure.
