“…A systematic review and meta-analysis of BLLs in battery factories' workers in these countries showed an average level of 37.9 μg/dL, with the highest level in Bangladesh (65.2 μg/dL), followed by Pakistan (60.4 μg/dL) and Egypt (52.4 μg/dL). 24 Haryanto 25 reports that there are more than 200 battery recycling smelters in Indonesia, 71 of which are located in Jakarta. The average BLLs for non-smelter workers was higher in 2015 (>39.3 μg/ dL) than in 2011 (27.9 μg/dL), and people living near smelters are at risk of Pb poisoning.…”

Background: Workers in the battery factory and phosphate fertilizer industry are exposed to harmful sulfuric acid and metal vapors in manufacturing units. Aims: To describe dental, oral, and general health hazards to underappreciated workers in these industries and factors associated with the occurrence and severity. Methods: Dental and oral conditions of workers in the production lines were determined by using indices for teeth erosion, oral hygiene, and gingival health. Interviews and questionnaires were used to assess the general health problems, habits, oral hygiene practices, years of service, protective and safety measures, etc. Results: Results: Surveys show that 67%–86% of production line workers experience symptoms of tooth sensitivity, dry mouth and nose, dysgeusia, burning/itchy eyes, and abdominal discomfort. They also complain of loss of appetite, fatigue, irritability, and muscle or joint pain. Examinations revealed that nearly all workers had poor hygiene and periodontal problems, with 78% experiencing gum bleeding on probing (33%) and spontaneous bleeding (45%). More than two-thirds (79%) of workers had dental erosion on anterior teeth and occlusal abrasion of the posterior teeth. A dense teeth discoloration on the eroded anterior and tartar deposits was obvious. Conclusions: Overexposure to hazardous vapors generated in the manufacturing processes associated with the unsafe workplace, lack of self-protection, poor personal health care, and inadequate medical services are factors strongly involved in the deterioration of workers’ health.

The development of industries that is engaged in battery manufacturing cannot be separated from occupational safety and health problems because the used materials are chemicals. Every day, there are 6000 cases of work accidents which result in fatalities. The chemicals that needed to make batteries can cause poisoning or are allergens for humans. Searches were carried out via Google Scholars, PubMed, Cochrane Library, ResearchGate and Science Direct. There were 46 journals containing health problem based on factors that influence battery factory workers topics. From 46 journals, there were 16 cross-sectional studies, 7 systematic reviews, 10 literature reviews, 8 cohort studies, 1 meta-analysis, and 4 case-control studies. In this study, it was found that health problems among battery factory workers consisted of several health problems based on influencing factors, there are physical factors, chemical factors, biological factors, and ergonomic factors. In these factors, there are risks that can result in occupational diseases. In terms of physical factors, there are problems with noise, radiation, vibration, and electric current. In chemical factors, there are problems with dust, irritants, and gases. Biological factors that play a role in this problem are pollutants. As well as ergonomic factors related to the occurrence of Low Back Pain. Battery factory workers have many health risk problems that they will contract. Health problems in battery factory workers are based on influencing factors consisting of physical factors, chemical factors, biological factors, and ergonomic factors. These factors can result in occupational diseases.

AimTo synthesise the dietary expesriences of patients with inflammatory bowel disease by reviewing relevant qualitative studies.BackgroundDiet plays a crucial role in the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There is no specific diet that can be recommended for all patients. We conducted a synthesis of qualitative studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dietary management experience of patients with IBD, aiming to provide better dietary guidance in the future.DesignA qualitative synthesis was conducted following the Thomas and Harden method and reported following the ENTREQ statement.MethodsQualitative studies were systematically searched in five electronic databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science. There was no time limit for publication, and all database searches were up to 10 May, 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument was utilised to appraise the quality of the included studies. Data for inclusion in articles were extracted and analysed using a thematic synthesis method.ResultsSix studies involving 119 patients were eventually included. The studies were conducted in six different countries. Four major themes were identified: the diet of patients with IBD is completely different from the normal one; manage symptoms and live with the disease by modifying diet; psychological adjustment to eating (be frustrated; worried and afraid; feel ashamed; growth and resilience); barriers and challenges (barriers from perceived social support; conflicts between diet and nutrition; challenges from food hedonism and cravings).ConclusionsPatients with IBD highlighted the distinction between their diet and the normal diet. Dietary modifications were used as a way to manage symptoms and live with the disease. In addition to physical symptoms, patients experienced diet‐related psychological changes. Dietary modifications in patients with IBD encounters difficulties and challenges, necessitating prompt guidance and intervention.(1) The implementation of dietary modifications in patients with IBD encounters numerous obstacles and complexities, necessitating prompt guidance and intervention.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.RegistrationThe protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023391545).
