Diagnosis of lung damage typically involves a combination of:
1. Medical History and Physical Examination: Assessment of symptoms and potential exposure to toxic agents. 2. Imaging Tests: Such as chest X-rays and CT scans to visualize lung structures. 3. Pulmonary Function Tests: To measure the lung's capacity and efficiency. 4. Biopsies: In some cases, a sample of lung tissue may be taken for microscopic examination.
