Expert dust
and disease panel

Exposure to silica or asbestos can lead to serious respiratory conditions.

The following four dust diseases are commonly linked to such exposures:

Pneumoconiosis or Silicosis

Lung scarring caused by prolonged inhalation of silica dust.

Mesothelioma

Aggressive cancer of the lung lining, primarily linked to asbestos exposure.

Lung Cancer

Increased risk due to long-term inhalation of asbestos fibers.

Diffuse Pleural Fibrosis

Thickening of the lung’s lining due to asbestos exposure, affecting lung function.
