Light micrograph through lung tissue showing anthracosis. Anthracosis is a term used to describe black lung disease before it has progressed to such an extent that systems are palpable. It's characterised by black spotting or marbling of the lungs and is caused by the accumulation of carbon in the lungs due to repeated exposure to air pollution or smoke inhalation. | |
