Answer:

pneumoconiosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Dermatosis is a condition of the skin, either genetic in nature and influenced by environmental conditions such as an initial infection/ contact dermatitis.

Atherosclerosis is a condition described by hardening of the arteries, affecting the heart. This is a chronic condition, caused by environmental factors (diet).

Caisson disease is an acute neurological condition that only occurs in deep sea divers, caused by a gas embolism that blocks a vessel and transportation of oxygen.
