Stannosis
| Classification according to ICD-10 | |
|---|---|
| J63 | Pneumoconiosis due to other inorganic dusts |
| J63.5 | Stannosis |
| ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019) | |
Under a stannosis (synonym: Zinnstaublunge , engl. : Stannosis ) refers to pathological changes in the lung caused by chronic exposure compared to tin dust (pneumoconiosis by the inhalation of tin dust) are formed. Stannosis is one of the rare - non-fibrosing - pneumoconioses .
Tin and its inorganic compounds such as tin (II) oxide , tin (II, IV) oxide , tin (IV) oxide are among the substances for which there are currently no MAK- due to a lack of experience in humans and in animal experiments. Values can be established.
Symptoms of the clinical picture
- to cough
- tough expectoration
- Difficulty breathing during exertion ( exertional dyspnea )
- Shading visible on the chest x-ray
- Lung ventilation disorder due to reduced expansion capacity ( restrictive ventilation disorder )
