ABSTRACT:
Respiratory disease caused by heavy metal and dust particles, the Condition of workers in the scissors industry of Meerut which employs up to 3% of the population of Meerut city and the Method of Preventing direct exposure to dust particles by the workers. Pathology and method of diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems are associated. Method of data collection This was a retrospective study based on the data available from the case study of the workers in the Scissors and Sports industry of Meerut City. And from the data available for disease in different research articles. Conclusion Out of 100O laborers working there. 100% of them in Edging and Polishing were suffering from lung disease. 75-85% of workers were affected, and at least half were in Intensity Therapy and Pressing. 85% of laborers are smokers or heavy drinkers, with women only found in the pressing division, and only 30% experience lung disease effects, highlighting the need for more preparedness. Proactive measures including education, regulation, and technological interventions are imperative to mitigate the health impacts of airborne pollutants and metal residue in occupational and environmental settings.
