Course overview

The purpose of this continuing education course is to educate health care worker on the prevalence of Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (Black Lung Disease). Black lung disease was almost extinct during the early 1990s. Currently there is an increase of black lung disease caused by the inhalation of certain types of dusts (coal mine dust, or silica dust) and the lung tissues reaction to the dust. The primary cause of the black lung disease is work-place exposure (CDC, 2012).
