Black lung disease, also known as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), is common in B. Coal miners. It is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust over an extended period of time, primarily affecting individuals who work in coal mines and are exposed to high levels of coal dust. The dust accumulates in the lungs and can lead to various respiratory issues and complications.
