Bronchiolitis Obliterans

Bronchiolitis Obliterans is a serious lung condition often linked to certain workplace exposures, such as inhaling toxic chemicals, fumes, or dust over time. It causes the tiny airways in the lungs (bronchioles) to become inflamed and narrowed, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing. The condition can be progressive and may lead to permanent lung damage. Understanding these risks is crucial for workers in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, or any field where exposure to harmful substances is possible. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for managing this disease.
