“…Silica in its crystalline form is intensely fibrogenic, highly toxic and associated with autoimmune disorders such as systemic sclerosis 6) . It is also shown that an excess of laryngeal cancer occurred for workers potentially exposed to silica dust 9) . Dimension stones which are used in buildings have a silica content of different percentages.…”

± 1.6 × × × × × 10 -2 mg/m 3 respectively, which belonged to the exposure of the workers of hammer drill process. The prevalence of skin and respiratory symptoms were higher in hammer drill workers, however, respiratory symptoms showed no significant prevalence. Regarding the average age of workers (31.6 ± 1.9 yr) and average of their work history (3.8 ± 1.0 yr), these results were predictable.

“…The health effects are mostly associated with inhalable particles in the range of 10µm Equivalent Aerodynamic Diameter (EAD) and less [6]. Varied concentrations of PM 10 (225 µg/m 3 -1600 µg/m 3 ) generated from bagasse-fired boilers; vehicular emission and road construction; animal confinements and fodders; soil tillage operations; silica and cotton dust influenced respiratory disturbances, i.e., Chronic…”

The study measured the concentration of coarse particulate matter (PM 10 ) in the ambient air of Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) Bagerhat in order to evaluate its impact on workers' health. 14 knownvolume air samples were obtained through Envirotech APM 541 PM10 Particulate Sampler. The short-term (6 hours) samples were taken from 9 industrial units in the winter season of October, 2015 to January, 2016. Simple gravimetric analysis showed large variations in concentrations in distinct industrial units. The minimum concentration was found 33.61 µ/m 3 in the outdoor premises of a coconut oil mill and the maximum was found 471.38 µ/m 3 in the house of a rice mill. The pollutant sources were detected as cabinless husking machines and soot from boilers and fryers. A questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the mostly occurring symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) and bronchoconstriction among workers. The highest prevalence of symptoms of bronchoconstriction (OR = 7.1; 95% CI = 2.3 -21.9) was found among workers in rice mills and eye disturbances (OR = 2.7; 95% CI = 0.9 -8.6) had the highest prevalence in coconut mills. Monitoring of air quality, providing personal respiratory prevention and improvement in machineries were required in the study area for a healthy environment.

Although asbestos is considered hazardous and carcinogenic, current evidence is lacking to support a correlation between asbestos exposure and laryngeal cancer. Few studies have been able to definitively conclude a causal association between asbestos exposure and laryngeal cancer, and those that found an association often did not account for the confounding factors of tobacco and alcohol exposure.
