The use of pulmonary function test to predict occupational lung disease among workers in steel industry

Occupational lung diseases are a group of illnesses that are caused by repeated and continuous long term exposure to dusts, gases, vapors and fumes at work that can lead to respiratory system injuries.[1] Substances which are known to cause occupational lung diseases include asbestos, polycycli...
