Brief Summary
To minimize the negative effects of exposure to silica, iron chips, and coke on the respiratory health of workers in the Ferro alloy factory, so it is important to assess and diagnose their health-related effects. Early reporting, diagnosis, and intervention can limit the severity of health hazards, improve health services. To our knowledge, no local previous studies were done in this area. All over the world there is no sufficient information relating to this industry and its health hazards.

Eligibility Criteria
workers exposed to free silica who have a free pre-employment records
You may qualify if:
- Active working miners working in ferrosilicon alloy factory with minimum exposure 5 years.
- Workers exposed to silica, iron chips, and coke in quarry and Furnaces areas.
- Have free pre-employment records especially free chest x-rays. have no previous pre- employment history of any chest problems.
You may not qualify if:
- Workers don't record silica, iron chips, and coke exposer as in the administration department.
