This proverb can be fully applied to the doctrine of coniosis. The first concept of the dark matter accumulating in the lung was given by L and e nes, which links this phenomenon with the secretion of the lung. In the 18th century, Zenker and Paracelsus introduced the concept of dusty lungs, calling this condition pneumoconiosis and putting forward an exogenous theory of its formation.And the 20th century again recalls the thoughts of Laepenes and Jousset with a number of bold works rejecting anthracosis as such, putting forward an endogenous theory of siderosis. the concept of pneumoconiosis stands at a crossroads, and what was considered irrefutable until recently has been shaken in its essence.</span></span></p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
