                                1. Pft test should be done to confirm the diagnosis
                                2. Treatment

                                      1. accumulation of dust in the lungs and the tissue reactions to its presence
                                        1. tissue reaction may be non-collagenous( minimal stromal reaction) or collagenous(when scarring is permanent)
