SILICOSIS, or miners' phthisis, has been known to occur among miners in certain districts for centuries. This disease is found among metal miners in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Great Britain, and in many of the states of the United States. Silicosis is due to breathing very fine rock dust.
