Clinical, bronchoscopic, functional, and echocardiographic peculiarities of pneumoconiosis and dust related bronchitis caused by exposure of mixed limestone and dolomite dust are describes in the paper. Authors have studied a rate of biological aging under exposure of low-fibrogenic aerosols. Relationship has been demonstrated between functional and structural disorders of respiratory and cardiovascular systems in dust related respirato- ry pathology caused by exposure of limestone and dolomite dusts. A difference between actual and predicted biological age is shown to be used as a marker of premorbid conditions in workers exposed to industrial dust.
