DEF

Any of many lung diseases caused by the inhalation of a variety of organic or inorganic dusts or chemical irritants, usually over a prolonged period of time.

CONT

The disease appears in different forms, depending on the type of dust you inhale. One of the most common forms is black lung disease, also known as miner's lung. It's caused by breathing in coal dust. Another is brown lung, which comes from working around dust from cotton or other fibers. Other types of dusts that can cause pneumoconiosis include silica and asbestos. Diacetyl, the compound used to give movie popcorn its buttery flavor, also can lead to the disease. This is known as popcorn lung.

Type d'agriculture pratiquée par les paysans.

OBS

L'agriculture paysanne, qui existe surtout dans les pays du tiers monde, se caractérise par le recours à des techniques traditionnelles, peu exigeantes en capital et souvent favorables à la conservation du milieu naturel.
