Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dusts (J63)
Clinical Information
Berylliosis - A form of pneumoconiosis caused by inhaled rare metal BERYLLIUM or its soluble salts which are used in a wide variety of industry including alloys, ceramics, radiographic equipment, and vacuum tubes. Berylliosis is characterized by an acute inflammatory reaction in the upper airway leading to BRONCHIOLITIS; PULMONARY EDEMA; and pneumonia.
Siderosis - A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of iron in the mining dust or welding fumes.
