Abstract
Silicosis is a well-known occupational lung illness that is frequently found in silica dust-exposed industries like stone
mining, sandblasting, quarrying, ceramics, and other industrial jobs like grinding, oil and gas, brick- and pottery-making
and berglass production. It is frequently characterized by coughing and shortness of breath. It is sporadically linked to tumors, tuberculosis (TB)
and lung cancer-causing agents like mycobacterial infections, autoimmune illnesses, etc. One of the most common occupational diseases in the
world, silicosis poses serious health risks to employees, especially in developing nations like India.
