More About Mesothelioma and Other Conditions Caused by Workplace Exposure Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that has been linked to an exposure to asbestos, a substance that was widely used in a variety of industrial and construction applications, particularly fireproofing, and even consumer products, for many years. Silicosis is caused by the inhalation of silica dust, which produces scarring in the lungs that can lead to shortness of breath, chronic coughing and heart disease. Pneumoconiosis is a lung disease that is caused by long-term inhalation of dust. Pneumoconiosis is often thought of as a coal worker’s disease, but substances—including asbestos dust, bauxite dust, silica dust and even cotton dust—can also cause this disabling condition.
