Occupational Disease 

Occupational Disease


➙Disease concert by work or work environment, occurrence among the work exploser to specific hazards.

➙It occurs as a result of exploser to physical, chemical, biological, physiological, ergonomical, electrical or mechanical hazard in the factor in workplace.

➙They are adverse has condition in human beings the occurrence of severe te of which is related to exploser to factors on the job in the work environment. 

Pneumoconioses 

➙Pneumoconioses is accumulation of dust in lungs and tissue reaction to its present.

➙Dust within size range of 0.3 micron - 0.5 micron causes maximum risk as this can easily either into Alveok.

➙The dust particle which get deposit into Alveok, causes information in the lungs that can eventually listed to fibrosis of lung issue. 

Types of Pneumoconioses 

➙There are a two types of Pneumoconioses 

  1. Inorganic dust / Mineral dust.
  2. Organic dust / Hypersensitivity Pneumoconioses.

Types of Dust Disease

➙Inorganic Dust

Silica Silicosis
Coal Dust Anthrocosis
Asbestos Asbestosis , concerlarg
Iron siderosis

➙Organic Dust 

Sugarcane Fibre Bagassosis
Cotton Dust Byssinosis
Tobacco Tobacossis
Hay Or Grain Dust Farmers Lung


Factor affecting Pneumoconioses Disease 

Factor affecting the development of Pneumoconioses : 

  1. Chemical composition of dust particles 
  2. Size of dust particles
  3. Concentration dust in atmosphere
  4. Duration of explosion
  5. Intermediate stability or health status of person explorer. 

➙ Pneumoconioses is usually take years to develop and main process even after the exploser has been continued.

➙ There is no quarter of  Pneumoconioses  Hance previnea se is essential. 

Silicosis ( organic dust ) 

➙Silicosis is a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling large amounts of crystalline silica dust, usually over many years. 

➙Silica is a substance naturally found in certain types of stone, rock, sand and clay. 

➙ Working with these materials can create a very fine dust that can be easily inhaled.

➙ There is no specific treatment for silicosis.

➙ Removing the source of silica exposure is important to prevent the disease from getting worse. 

➙ Supportive treatment includes cough medicine, bronchodilators, and oxygen if needed. Antibiotics are prescribed for respiratory infections as needed.
