The term inhalational lung disease comprises a group of entities that develop secondary to the active aspiration of particles. Most are occupational lung diseases. Inhalational lung diseases are classified as occupational diseases (pneumoconiosis, chemical pneumonitis), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and electronic-cigarette-associated lung diseases. The radiologic findings often consist of nonspecific interstitial patterns that can be difficult to interpret. Therefore, radiologists' experience and multidisciplinary teamwork are key to ensure correct evaluation. The role of the radiologist is fundamental in preventive measures as well as in diagnosis and management, having an important impact on patients' overall health. It is crucial to take into account patients' possible exposure to particles both at work and at home.
吸入性肺病这一术语包括一组因颗粒主动吸入继发形成的病症。大多数是职业性肺病。吸入性肺病分为职业病（尘肺、化学性肺炎）、过敏性肺炎和电子烟相关肺病。影像学表现通常由难以解读的非特异性间质模式组成。因此，放射科医生的经验和多学科团队合作是确保正确评估的关键。放射科医生的作用在预防措施以及诊断和管理中至关重要，对患者的整体健康有重要影响。考虑患者在工作和家庭中可能接触颗粒的情况至关重要。
