Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify Diseases The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision ( ICD -10) is a coding of diseases and signs symptoms abnormal findings J00-J99 - Diseases of the respiratory system (J00-J06 Acute upper respiratory infections ( Acute Nasopharyngitis ( Common cold) J00-J99 - Diseases of the respiratory system (J00-J06 Acute upper respiratory infections ( Acute Nasopharyngitis ( Common cold) The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify Diseases The following is a list of codes for International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.

Types
Depending on the type of dust, variants of the disease are considered.
Types include:
- Coalworker's pneumoconiosis (also known as "black lung") - coal dust
- Asbestosis - asbestos dust
- Silicosis (also known as "grinder's disease") - silica dust
- Bauxite fibrosis - bauxite dust
- Berylliosis - beryllium dust
- Siderosis - iron dust
- Byssinosis - cotton dust
- Labrador Lung (found in miners in Labrador, Canada) - mixed dust, including iron, silica and anthophyllite, a type of asbestos
Pneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome. Black lung disease, also known as coal workers' Pneumoconiosis (CWP is caused by long exposure to coal dust. Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory medical condition affecting the Parenchymal tissue of the Lungs It occurs after long-term heavy exposure Asbestos is a group of Minerals with long thin fibrous Crystals The word "asbestos" (῾ἀσβεστος is derived from a Greek adjective Silicosis (also known as Grinder's disease and Potter's rot) is a form of Occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline Silica The Chemical compound silicon dioxide, also known as silica or silox (from the Latin " Silex " is an Oxide Bauxite pneumoconiosis, also known as Shaver's disease, corundum smelter's lung, bauxite lung or bauxite smelters' disease, is a progressive Bauxite is the most important Aluminium Ore.
