title: [Characteristics of the progression of silicosis under alpine conditions].
abstract: Siliceous dust during hypobaric hypoxia under the conditions of high mountains causes a rapid onset of silicosis in miners. Nodular silicosis types are prevalent. Lower activity of antioxidative protective enzymes and activated free radical oxidation and autoimmune responses are detectable.
