There are about 20,000 new cases of silicosis and other pneumoconiosis in China every year, which is closely related to the concentration of dust in some stone powder factories and coal mines and the frequency of exposure.

The incidence of silicosis is also chronic, acute and medium-speed silicosis, which is closely related to dust concentration, exposure frequency and duration, personal physical endowment and so on. More attention should be paid to the improper treatment of silicosis, which will lead to hemoptysis and severe systemic symptoms such as hemoptysis, dizziness and palpitation after hemoptysis and pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and bronchiectasis. Treatment is more difficult and the possibility of control and cure is greatly reduced. Therefore, silicosis patients and their families and relatives should seize the best time for the treatment of silicosis in the early stage and treat it with traditional Chinese medicine to get the best results.
