Abstract

Background: Silica, asbestos and coal dust are associated with pneumoconiosis in mining workers. The International Labor Organization (ILO) reports that 30-50% of workers in developing countries are diagnosed with pneumoconiosis. This study aims to identify pneumoconiosis in limestone mining workers in Indonesia. Method: This cross-sectional study involved 73 subjects of limestone mining workers in Citatah Village, West Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Two conclusions were similar from three AIR-Pneumo certified photo readers by blind reading and using the ILO guidelines. Result: Pneumoconiosis was found in 11/73 (15.1%). The median age of the pneumoconiosis group was older than the non-pneumoconiosis group (51 [33-63] vs. 37.5 [18-85] age in years, p = 0.013). All subjects in the pneukoniosis group worked> 6 years (p = 0.001). The highest dust concentration was in the pneumoconiosis group compared to the non-pneumoconisosis group (61.41 ± 103.98 vs. 14.92 ± 55.17 mg / m3, p = 0.030). This study showed that the length of work and the level of dust in the mine were risk factors for pneumoconiosis, although not significant (OR = 14.6, p = 0.999 and OR = 7,171, p = 0.998). Conclusion: The proportion of pneumoconiosis in lime mining workers in this study was 15.1%. Length of work and dust levels in the mine are risk factors for pneumoconiosis; but not meaningful in this study.

Abstract

The holy city of Makkah is one of the big cities in Saudi Arabia that is densely populated, especially during the Hajj season. In recent years, air pollution in Makkah has been a growing problem due to construction activities, motor vehicle fumes, rising temperatures, rainfall and humidity. The higher the level of air pollution exposure, the more it has an impact on human health, especially the lungs and airways. The health impacts associated with air pollution include an increase in the incidence of respiratory infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other lung diseases. Better knowledge of the correlation between air pollution and lung and airway diseases will contribute to developing more strategies to reduce air pollution in the holy city of Makkah.

Abstract

In cities, air pollution ranks high among the most pressing problems affecting both the environment and people's health. Research has demonstrated that gaseous pollutants like ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), as well as fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), greatly increase the prevalence of respiratory diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory infections (ARI). To investigate the effects of air pollution on public health, especially in South Tangerang City, and the correlation between the two, this article provides a thorough literature analysis. The literature search results indicate that air pollution plays a role in the occurrence of ARI, asthma, pneumonia, and COPD through oxidative stress, long-term inflammation, and immune system disorders. Data from local and regional levels show that PM2.5 levels in South Tangerang frequently exceed WHO-recommended limits, particularly during certain periods, increasing the potential for respiratory health problems among urban residents. These emphasize the importance of integrated, evidence-based efforts to control air pollution to protect public health and support sustainable urban development.
