Prolonged cough and dyspnea following a single episode of intense silica exposure
Arch Environ Occup Health. 2023 Dec 14:1-6. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2023.2293939. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong term exposure to silica at worksites can cause silicosis. This typically has two radiographic forms, simple silicosis and complicated or conglomerate silicosis. Patients with acute silicosis have rapid progression of disease with fulminant respiratory failure over months rather than years. The patient described in this case report had a one-time 4 to 5-h exposure to silica and sand dust at work when his mask malfunctioned. He developed cough and shortness of breath. During his initial clinic visit he had signi...

Heavy metal worker's pneumonoconiosis with lung parenchymal damage and Peripheral neuropathy: case report
Arch Environ Occup Health. 2023 Dec 8:1-6. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2023.2290545. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeavy metals even at low concentrations can damage all systems in the human body from the cellular level by causing disruptions in DNA repair mechanisms, cell division and apoptosis. A 49-year-old man who had been working in the sanding and deburring department of a factory producing underground water pipes for 15 years, presented with complaints of effort dyspnea, cough and loss of strength in his left hand. Computed tomography of the lung revealed diffuse micronodular appearance in all zones in both lungs, subpleu...

Integrated approaches to prevent exposure risks related to latex-derived products
Arch Environ Occup Health. 2023 Nov 30:1-7. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2023.2287630. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNatural rubber latex is a widely used industrial raw material to produce many consumer and commercial products. Chronic exposures to latex allergenic proteins residual in the finished products can promote hypersensitive immune responses, which affects millions of workers and the general public worldwide. Research has shown the average prevalence of latex allergy worldwide remains approximately 10% among healthcare workers, 7% among susceptible patients, and 4% among general population. Although most effective in pr...
