Pneumonitis

Pneumonitis is inflammation of the lungs that can occur due to exposure to harmful substances in the workplace, such as chemicals, dust, or allergens. This condition can cause symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. In occupational settings, prolonged exposure to irritants can lead to chronic lung problems. It's important for workers to follow safety guidelines and use protective equipment to reduce the risk of developing pneumonitis. Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent more serious lung damage.
