Negative Effect of Industrial Dust on the Human Body

Abstract

Industrial dust is the most common harmful factor in the industrial environment. Numerous technological processes and operations in industry, transport, and agriculture are accompanied by the formation and release of dust, which can affect large contingents of workers in these areas. Industrial dust by origin can be natural and artificial, mineral and organic. Industrial dust, the nature of which depends on its composition, is most often the cause of diseases. The finer the dust particles, the longer they remain in suspension, penetrating into the smallest pores of the skin, bronchi and alveoli.
