Black phthisis, a disease of coal-miners. Produced by the inhalation of particles of solid matter, such as the dust from coal, iron, glass, stone, etc., which accumulate in the pulmonary alveoli, and are taken up by the lymphatics and deposited in the bronchial glands, eventually in other situations, and finally throughout the lung tissue. They may even appear in the liver. See pneumoconiosis.[Gr.]
