Which of the following materials does NOT cause pneumoconiosis?

  1. Silica

  2. Cotton

  3. Asbestos

  4. Chlorine

The correct answer is: Chlorine

Pneumoconiosis is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of certain dust particles. Silica, cotton, and asbestos are all known to be causative agents of pneumoconiosis. However, chlorine is not a material that is typically associated with occupational lung disease and therefore, it does NOT cause pneumoconiosis.
