Which of the following terms means abnormal condition of lung dust?
A) pneumoconiosis
B) pulmoconiosis
C) pneumoanthracosis
D) anthracosis
A) pneumoconiosis
Pneum/o means lung, coni/o means dust, and -osis means abnormal condition, so
pneumoconiosis means abnormal condition of lung dust. Pulm/o is not a combining form, so
pulmoconiosis is not a medical term. Anthrac/o means coal, so pneumoanthracosis would be
abnormal condition of coal lung. Anthracosis is a type of pneumoconiosis that develops from the
collection of coal dust in the lung.
