Abstract

Background and Aims: SILICOSIS is a diffuse interstitial fibronodoular LUNG DISEASE caused by inhalation of dust containing free crystalline silica. Crystalline silica can cause several forms of SILICOSIS. SILICOSIS is still a significant HEALTH PROBLEM around the world and it remains a common and disabling LUNG DISEASE in developing nations.Exposure to silica occurs by inhalation of dry mineral particles of reparable size (0.2 to 10?m aerodynamic diameter.Method: By a cross-sectional study 100 male workers in silica production factories were surveyed. Information on health status of workers was gathered with questionnaire, SPIRO METER and CHEST X-RAY. Results: The results illustrated 21 workers with signs and symptoms and abnormal physical examination. Persons had significant abnormal sign evidence in their CHEST X-RAY, and 14 workers had abnormal Spiro gram patterns.Conclusion: The result also indicated that 10 workers had overt SILICOSIS and 11 workers can come back and start working, provided that improvement workplace and control of silica dust. This study showed a significant association between Dose-response silica exposure and the incidence of SILICOSIS.
