Production dust is the key to pneumoconiosis, how serious is pneumoconiosis?

Pneumoconiosis is a general term for diffuse fibrous lesions in the lungs caused by coal mines, inhalation of mine dust by well drilling workers, and deposition of coal dust as the main dust in the lungs. This disease is the most common and serious occupational disease that affects labor productivity and threatens the health of miners in coal production.

Pneumoconiosis has a great impact on the health of the human lungs and can even pose a threat to the lives of patients. If you want pneumoconiosis to get better, you should first have a more comprehensive understanding of pneumoconiosis.

What is pneumoconiosis?

Most pneumoconiosis is related to the occupation of the patient. Many people call pneumoconiosis "silicosis", in fact, silicosis is only a kind of pneumoconiosis, the treatment of silicosis is mainly "silica dust", to judge whether the dust is silica dust, the most important indicator is the content of free silica in the air sample, the content is higher than 10% can be judged as silica dust, less than 10% can be qualitative dust according to the composition of the dust, the higher the free silica content, the greater the harm! Pneumoconiosis is a long-term accumulation of disease, and Zhang Haichao, who once had a sensational "open chest and lung test", believes that many people know it!

What do patients with pneumoconiosis typically do?

Pneumoconiosis patients have basically been engaged in mine crushing, underground roadway operations, quartz sand building materials processing, glass processing, casting processing and other occupations, and the incubation period of pneumoconiosis is very long, a worker from the contact of occupational disease hazard factors to the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis requires a certain amount of time to accumulate (there are also individual differences and differences in working environment), the author has been in contact with some patients who have experienced an incubation period of up to 20 years, studying their occupational history, patients have been engaged in underground manganese mining 20 years ago, At that time, the manganese mining enterprises were township enterprises, and the mining technology was backward, the occupational health conditions were poor, the management was lacking in the sense of protection, and the individual quality of the employees was not high, which caused these employees to gradually realize the seriousness of occupational disease hazards after 20 years! <

How can pneumoconiosis patients defend their rights?

Although China's occupational disease prevention and control law has clear provisions, I will elaborate on the general meaning, please correct if it is inaccurate: if the occupational disease is found in which unit, the unit is responsible for ** (you can also claim compensation from a unit with a dusty working environment, if the employer cannot provide a resignation (post) physical examination report); If the unit has gone bankrupt and cannot make a claim, it may register with the civil affairs department. However, in fact, due to the information asymmetry of patients and the backward thinking of the rule of law, the situation after the disease is not optimistic.

Once pneumoconiosis is very serious, it is very likely to form some diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia, and it is very likely to endanger your life in the end, so you must pay attention.

Pneumoconiosis is very serious, it can cause a lot of damage to a person's lungs, inhaling too much will cause damage to our respiratory tract and mucous membranes, and have a certain erosive effect on our lungs.

Pneumoconiosis is the long-term inhalation of dust in the production environment, resulting in fibrosis of lung tissue, and the main symptoms are: chest tightness, poor breathing, and endless phlegm in the lungs. The most common** method in patients with advanced severe disease is to replace the lung organs.

Pneumoconiosis is very serious, and symptoms such as coughing up blood, difficulty breathing, and chest pain often occur, so you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible**.

Very serious. Because lung damage is irreversible, it is easy to cause lung failure and even cough up blood.

It should be said that it is particularly serious, and it may make many people completely unable to get rid of drugs for the rest of their lives.

According to the statistical survey, the number of patients suffering from pneumoconiosis in China is 6 million, and we must do a good job in the publicity and prevention of pneumoconiosis, and at the same time, we must also actively carry out the diagnosis of patients.

1. The concept of "pneumoconiosis" and **

Pneumoconiosis is diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue, due to the long-term living of individuals in an environment with productive dust, resulting in damage to lung function, and eventually affecting the individual respiratory system, this disease is a common occupational disease among workers in China, and the number of patients is on the rise. <>

2. Symptoms and susceptible groups of pneumoconiosis

In China, people engaged in mining, especially in the coal industry, metal smelting industry, manufacturing, construction industry, etc., belong to the pneumoconiosis prone group, and the use of inferior chalk is also easy to induce this disease, so for the sake of health, it is necessary to have regular examinations. The onset area of pneumoconiosis is in the lungs, so the symptoms are also related to the respiratory system, in the early stage of the disease, cough with phlegm, severe patients will cough up blood, and will be accompanied by obvious symptoms such as dyspnea and chest pain, and in the more serious stage, there will be lung infection, tuberculosis, lung cancer, respiratory failure and other symptoms, so it is very necessary to do a good job in the prevention of pneumoconiosis and follow-up work.

3. How to prevent and ** pneumoconiosis?

Reducing the amount of dust in industrial production or in daily life is a key measure to prevent this disease, and most factories and mines have adopted more environmentally friendly working methods, and have worn helmets and masks with higher dust protection for workers, and carried out regular health checks for workers. Pneumoconiosis is not suitable for surgery**, once diagnosed, it can only be done by taking drugs that have the ability to delay the process of fibrosis, or by taking drugs containing ginkgo biloba to improve the function of the lungs, and at the same time transfer from the original post to improve individual immunity, and avoid increasing the burden on the lungs due to dyspnea caused by other diseases.

I only know that this disease can seriously damage people's lungs, and there is no way to treat this disease in the later stage, and many patients will die very painfully.

I don't know a lot, but I do know that you have to wear a mask all year round, and you have to live in a clean environment, and they are usually allergic to flowers.

Lung disease is a relatively common disease caused by too much exposure to dust in our daily lives.

Pneumoconiosis is a systemic disease mainly caused by diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue caused by long-term inhalation of growth dust during occupational activities and retention in the lungs.

Pneumoconiosis accounts for 90% of all occupational diseases. It can be said that occupational diseases are relatively common and are a relatively serious problem. There are some professions.

For example, if you work on the construction site for a long time, you will basically have pneumoconiosis, and the same is true for the workshop. The construction site is purely physical exertion, so the occupational diseases are basically back pain and pneumoconiosis. Because of the lot of dust on the construction site, it is impossible for workers to wear masks because they consume a lot of their bodies.

The worker's job is basically a day of manual labor, and you still have to wear a mask, which is impossible, so there will be corresponding occupational diseases, which is inevitable, plus a long working life.

The earliest patients with pneumoconiosis had an inconspicuous cough. However, with the slow progression of the disease, most patients will develop chronic bronchitis, and most patients with advanced pneumoconiosis will be complicated by lung infection, which will significantly aggravate the symptoms of cough, which is also related to climate and season. Patients with pneumoconiosis also have a sputum cough due to continuous dust removal from the respiratory system.

However, the amount of sputum is generally not much, and the color is gray and thin. If the patient has a concurrent lung infection or chronic bronchitis, the amount of play increases considerably. At this time, the speech is yellow and sticky, and it is not easy to cough up.

When the degree of pulmonary fibrosis continues to increase, the effective breathing area will also decrease, and the proportion of ventilation and blood flow will be unbalanced, and the patient's dyspnea will gradually increase.

How can pneumoconiosis be prevented? Pneumoconiosis typically occurs in mining workers, machine manufacturing workers, building materials workers, and metal smelters. Metal mine miners or coal miners are the occupations most susceptible to pneumoconiosis because they are exposed to large amounts of silica dust and dust during blasting, transportation, etc.

If these dusts are inhaled for a long time, pneumoconiosis can occur.

If you want to prevent pneumoconiosis, it is recommended that workers engaged in these occupations must do a good job in the prevention of pneumoconiosis, pay attention to respiratory protection in the process of their work, and wear professional protective masks to avoid inhaling too much dust.

Pneumoconiosis refers to diffuse pulmonary fibrosis caused by long-term work in dust-related work, inhalation of productive dust and deposit in the lungs. In fact, the early clinical manifestations of pneumoconiosis are generally atypical. With the further development of the disease, symptoms of upper respiratory tract diseases such as cough, sputum production, chest pain, dyspnea and even hemoptysis will appear, and it is generally accompanied by digestive dysfunction in the later stage.

Pneumoconiosis is generally complicated by respiratory tract infection, and even COPD and cor pulmonale, when these symptoms appear, many patients often mistakenly think that it is not lung cancer or tuberculosis.

There are many causes of pneumoconiosis, the first is the working environment, such as long-term work in coal mines, steel, asbestos tiles, etc., frequent exposure to mineral dust, especially when the free silica content in the dust is high, the faster the onset of the disease, the faster the disease progresses.

I know pneumoconiosis very well, that is, I often work in a very harsh working environment, and inhale a lot of dust or other harmful gases every day, resulting in the production of pneumoconiosis, which is very harmful to the lungs, and it is recommended that patients with pneumoconiosis should often wear masks, and wear masks with filtering quality, rather than ordinary masks, so as to effectively prevent pneumoconiosis.

Pneumoconiosis is a very painful disease in which long-term inhalation of dust causes lesions in their lungs.

Production dust refers to solid particles that are formed during production and can be suspended in the air for a long time. A large amount of dust can escape in the process of mining, rock drilling, blasting, transportation, ore crushing, screening, batching, smelting, crystal and gem processing. Long-term inhalation of productive dust can cause various diseases of the respiratory system, such as pneumoconiosis, dust bronchitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, etc.

The degree of harm to the human body of dust depends on its chemical composition and concentration. The higher the content of free silica in the dust, the greater the harm to the human body. The higher the concentration of the same kind of dust, the more serious the harm to the human body.

In addition, the harm of dust to the human body is also related to the degree to which it is crushed, that is, the degree of dispersion, the smaller the particle size and the more particles, the higher the dispersion, the longer the time it floats in the air, the more opportunities to be inhaled by the human body, and the greater the harm. Dust can be divided into inorganic dust, organic dust and mixed dust according to its nature.

Pneumoconiosis is a systemic disease caused by long-term inhalation of harmful dusts, mainly diffuse fibrotic changes in the lungs. In ancient China, pneumoconiosis was understood, and the classical literature of traditional Chinese medicine has a record of "scorched lungs must die". The scorched lung here refers to masonry pneumoconiosis.

Pneumoconiosis is a statutory occupational disease and must be diagnosed by a nationally designated institution to be effective. In the early stage of pneumoconiosis, there may be no clinical symptoms, and some patients have chest tightness, cough, and sputum production, and with the aggravation of the above symptoms, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, dyspnea, and late stage can be complicated by emphysema and pulmonary heart disease. At present, there is no ** drug for pneumoconiosis**, and the main treatment is symptomatic ** and support** to control the further development of the disease.

At present, foreign countries have shifted the focus to the prevention of pneumoconiosis, and the main measures are to configure dust removal equipment, strengthen personal protection, and regularly check the employees of dust protection institutions.

All industrial dusts can cause pneumoconiosis.

The scope of lung disease is huge. Basically, "dust" is only a factor that triggers lung disease, and the main factor is the person's own ability to bear it. Cattle are not afraid of any dust.

Cough, coughing up blood, and difficulty breathing can basically be determined.

Causes of frequent occurrence of pneumoconiosis: 1. Wrong understanding. Some people think that they will not get it, they are young, strong, and can prevent pneumoconiosis by eating more pig blood and fungus to clear the lungs.

None of this has any effect on medicine. As long as the dust is inhaled for a long time, it will inevitably get pneumoconiosis. It's just a matter of time or night.

2. I don't know the hazards of dust. The hazards of dust mainly include pneumoconiosis, respiratory system inflammation, metal dust deposition, respiratory system tumors, etc.

3. I don't know how to choose a dust mask scientifically. A small dust mask makes a big sense. Counterfeit and low-quality masks are the main causes of frequent pneumoconiosis.

If all employees work in a dusty environment, they can do a good job of respiratory protection. Choose a dust mask scientifically, choose a good mask with good protective effect, smooth breathing, and economical use. Then China is not far from zero pneumoconiosis remediation.

The way to clean dust: Now dust masks must implement the GB2626-2006 standard. Dust masks are divided into three grades: KN100, KN95 and KN90.

Among them, KN100 can achieve nearly 100% (more) protection effect against ultrafine dust. If the granularity is large, KN95 grade can be selected. The effectiveness of protection depends on 2 aspects.

One is the filtration efficiency of the filter cotton. The second is the air leakage rate after the mask is mated to the face.

Therefore, masks must be divided into large and small sizes, and the air leakage rate between masks and faces varies from person to person.

The way to clean dust: the scientific selection of dust masks certified by GB2626-2006 standards can help prevent lung damage.

1. Choose a duplex half mask type. Disposable masks are not suitable for long-term or occupational protection due to their high air leakage rate.

2. Select KN100 level. A high dust environment with a low protection rate will lead to physical injury.

3. Choose a silicone mask, which has a relatively long service life, soft and comfortable. Wear it for a long time and it is not easy to cause allergic reactions. Masks with high rigidity are prone to facial indentation.

4. Masks are divided into large and small sizes, which is extremely important. It is not recommended to buy those so-called universal models of masks, which are prone to air leakage.

5. There are two types of masks covering the mouth and nose, covering the mouth, nose and chin, and it is recommended to use the latter, which is relatively comfortable.

6. It is recommended to choose a breathing mask. Some masks are designed with double filter cotton + double filter surface, which is relatively smooth to breathe and has a long service life.

It is recommended to evaluate occupational protection from the above quality, grade, comfort and economy, and choose a good mask that can effectively prevent pneumoconiosis.
