Occupational lung diseases are health conditions caused by exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. These can include dust, chemicals, and fumes that damage lung tissue or lead to respiratory issues. Common examples include asbestosis, caused by asbestos exposure, and silicosis, resulting from inhaling silica dust. Workers in industries such as construction, mining, and manufacturing are at higher risk for these diseases. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Early detection and prevention are crucial for managing these conditions and protecting workers' health.
