Occupational Pulmonology

Occupational Pulmonology is a branch of medicine focused on lung health related to work environments. It involves the study, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory conditions caused by exposure to harmful substances such as dust, chemicals, or pollutants at the workplace. Occupational pulmonologists assess how these exposures can lead to diseases like asthma, bronchitis, or lung cancer. They work to prevent and manage these conditions, helping ensure that workers remain healthy while doing their jobs, ultimately contributing to improved workplace safety and overall employee well-being.
