SILICOSIS DISEASE: PREVENTION AND TREATMENT METHODS

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of silicosis from the perspective of practical medicine, providing an analytical approach for identifying, assessing, and improving the quality of life of patients facing this disease as medical specialists. Silicosis is a chronic interstitial pneumonia caused by the prolonged inhalation of silicon dioxide dust, leading to irreversible fibrotic changes in the lungs. In clinical practice, this disease is often diagnosed at late stages and complicated by acute conditions, which further underscores the importance of early diagnosis and preventive measures.
