Will smog and sand-blowing weather increase the prevalence of lung diseases? Such as silicosis, tracheitis, pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis?
Yes, especially in smoggy weather, serious pollution leads to an increase in asthma and lung diseases, which is a very serious problem. If it is a particularly serious problem, it may also lead to lung cancer. See Academician Zhong Nanshan's article for details. Silicosis is unlikely. Silicosis is an occupational lung disease, which takes a long time to develop.
