Silicosis is an occupational hazard for those working in mines & in construction works. These patients are exposed to long term complications and chronic morbidity. In patients with silicosis, the involvement of pleura in the form of pneumothorax is uncommon.

Silicosis has no definitive treatment. An awareness of safety & preventive measures to reduce the incidence of the disease, morbidity & mortality are needed to improve the health of people working in such places
