Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis Stage I

Many jobs will cause physical illnesses, which are what we call occupational diseases. Some people end up suffering from serious illnesses because they do not know how to protect themselves. Pneumoconiosis is a relatively strong occupational disease, and it is divided into stage one and two levels. Patients with stage one coal worker's pneumoconiosis can still improve their symptoms and recover after reasonable treatment. Moreover, stage I pneumoconiosis is a relatively common disease, which is often ignored by many people, resulting in serious mistakes.

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis refers to the general term for lung diseases caused by long-term inhalation of dust in the production environment by coal miners. Coal silicosis is the most common disease in coal mines. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis mainly occurs in underground miners, and the incidence rate is very low among open-pit coal miners. Other workers who are exposed to large amounts of coal dust, such as dock unloaders and coal briquette makers, may also develop coal lung disease. However, because it does not significantly affect their ability to work, it has not been studied much so far. Now let’s take a closer look at the harm that stage one coal worker’s pneumoconiosis can cause to the human body.

Steps/Methods:

1. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis is one of the most common pneumoconiosis. Stage I pneumoconiosis refers to small shadows with an overall density of level 1. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine that does not harm the body and the worker can leave the polluted working environment as soon as possible. It is recommended not to delay treatment, as this may make the condition more serious.

2. The cause of coal workers' pneumoconiosis is: a certain amount of coal dust is inhaled into the human body, and the coal dust itself has the effect of causing pulmonary fibrosis. The characteristic changes of coal workers' pneumoconiosis are the formation of coal dust foci, coal dust fiber foci and coal silicosis nodules, accompanied by typical centrilobular emphysema.

3. Coal miners should undergo regular physical examinations, and those with coal workers' pneumoconiosis should be transferred out in a timely manner. Prevent or slow down the progression of lesions to complicated coal workers' pneumoconiosis. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis, like silicosis, is an irreversible disease. When it develops into complicated coal workers' pneumoconiosis, the disease will continue to progress even if there is no exposure to coal dust.

Note:

Health care for coal miners' pneumoconiosis: avoid smoking, eating too salty food, and eating apricots. Quit smoking to relieve symptoms of chronic bronchitis and slow the progression of emphysema. People with pulmonary tuberculosis should be given effective and regular anti-tuberculosis treatment.
