Silicosis is pollution related disorder.

Option C

Explanation:

  • Silicosis is the disease that occurs due to the disposition of silica or the dust in lungs. This is primarily an occupational hazard.
  • Silicosis is a problem that is associated with primarily the factory workers that work in very dust and smokes.
  • Silica deposits initiate the type 1 hypersensitivity which leads to the accumulation of lysosomes and macrophages and this initiates granuloma formation.
  • This can cause fibrosis or even malignancy.
