Overview
Occupational lung disease may be caused by organic dust such as thermophilic and true fungi, and bacteria and animal proteins, or by inorganic dust such as, silicates, carbons and metals, or by agents other than organic or inorganic dusts such as, chemicals, gases, fumes, vapors, and aerosols.
Causes
Life-threatening Causes
- Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- Life-threatening causes of occupational lung disease include chemical gas inhalation such as chlorine or sarin gas.[1][2]
Common Causes
Common causes of occupational lung disease include:[3][4]
- Silica
- Asbestos
- Beryllium

- Titanium
- Cobalt
- Iron
- Coal dust
- Graphite
- Macropolyspora faeni
- Thermactinomyces vulgaris
- T. sacchari
- Aspergillus
- Copper sulfate neutralized with hydrated lime
- Bird droppings
Less Common Causes

- Lanthanum
- Cryptostroma corticale
- Aureobasidium pullulans
- Penicillium species
- Bacillus subtilis
- B. cereus
- Orlon
- Polyesters
- Nylon
- Acrylic
Genetic Causes
- Occupational lung disease may be triggered by a mutation in the following genes:[7]
- MUC5B promoter polymorphism
- Has been identified as causing progression in interstitial lung fibrosis
- HLA-DPB1*0201 polymorphisms
- NAT2 acetylation
- Associated with bladder cancer with exposure to benzine dyes
- HLA class II genes such as HLA-DQB1*0503
- Associated with toluene diisocyanate-induced occupational asthma
- Polymorphisms in exons 3 of Tyr113His (C113T) and 4 His139Arg (G139A) of the mEH gene
- Associated with organic dust-induced chronic airways disease where the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase slows down
- MUC5B promoter polymorphism
