Blue baby syndrome is a pathological condition, called methemoglobinemia, in which blood's capacity for oxygen transport is reduced, resulting in bluish skin discoloration in infants. Blue baby syndrome begins when large amounts of nitrates in water are ingested by an infant and converted to nitrite by the digestive system. The nitrite then reacts with oxyhaemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying blood protein) to form metheglobin, which cannot carry oxygen. Pneumoconiosis is a man-made, occupational lung diseases that are contracted by prolonged breathing of coal mine dust i.e. caused by the inhalation of dust, characterized by formation of nodular fibrotic changes in lungs.
