Opis:
Introduction: Quartz crushing and brick making industry are informal and demands heavy manual labour. They are socio-economically backward and are unable to avail of social security’s scheme meant for protection of the health and welfare of Indian workers. Purpose: To evaluate cardiovascular and respi-ratory status of stone grinders and brickfield workers and to compare the above parameters with the control group. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 94 stone grinders and 82 brick field workers of West Bengal. They are mainly exposed to stone dust particles, silica dust and fumes. Pulmonary function and cardiovascular parameters were measured, and respiratory impairments were assessed by questionnaire. Results: Pulmonary function parameters, including breath holding time significantly reduced among these occupational groups of workers. But maximum oxygen consumption values were significantly higher than any other industrial workers of West Bengal. Workers of the above mentioned occupation showed restrictive type of lung impairment and prevalence of chest pain, and chronic cough (chronic bronchitis) were much higher than the control group workers. Stone grinders (42.6%) and brick field workers (78%) were in the pre-hypertensive state which is much higher than other industrial workers of West Bengal. BMI and skinfold thickness values of the above mentioned occupational workers were much lower than controls as well as other industrial groups of workers indicating severe nutritional deficiency among them. Conclusion: Thus the environmental stress and nutritional status of these two occupational groups of workers affect the cardio-respiratory status among them, which can be prevented by use of protective gadgets, use of modern engineering techniques, proper health education and awareness.

Opis:
Purpose: This study measured haematological parameters in construction workers exposed to cement dust, silica and other hazardous materials. This was done in order to identify a simple, readily available, and cost effective screening test that could help to identify the presence of disease and its severity in workers potentially related to their work space. Materials and methods: The study was composed of 150 construction workers and 52 participants in an unexposed control group, with ages ranging from 15-60 years. Blood samples were collected from each participant and percentage of haemoglobin, total RBC count, WBC count, platelet count, and different RBC indices were analyzed. Results: The haemoglobin concentration, PCV, and MCV decreased significantly, but the MCHC and eosinophil counts increased significantly in comparison to the control group, though the increase in the monocyte count was not significant. No significant changes in haematological parameters with a year of exposure have been found. However, the percentage of prevalence of anaemia on the basis of haemoglobin concentration and PCV value were higher in construction workers in comparison to members of the control group. Conclusion: This study recommends that construction workers working in hazardous environments must support health education and should regularly use protective devices in their workplace. They must also have regular medical checkups, which might help detect disease in early stages.

Opis:
Background: Jute industry workers constantly exposed themselves to jute dust and are at risk of impairment of lung function. Investigation on various studies revealed the effects of exposure to jute dust but limited studies so far undertaken regarding its bearing on pulmonary function of jute workers of West Bengal,India. Purpose: To evaluate the respiratory status of jute mill workers of West Bengal exposed to occupational hazards. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 203 male jute mill workers of age range 18 – 60 yrs. from West Bengal and a control group of 141 men of similar age .Dynamic pulmonary function parameters were carried out including physical parameters, respiratory abnormalities, year of exposure and smoking history. Results: FVC, FEV1, FEF 200-1200 and PEFR values of higher age group non smoker of low dust zone were significantly higher in comparison to the non smoker of high dust zone. The prevalence of chest tightness was 33.49% and liver dysfunction was 41.9% in dusty zone workers of jute mill in comparison to less dusty zone. Again, incidence of chest tightness and cough was highest (35.44%) in higher age group workers and prevalence of byssinosis like symptoms and chronic bronchitis was 30- 37% after 10 – 30years of exposure. But occurrence of bronchial asthma was 11.9% in workers of greater than 20 years of exposure. Prevalence of all the above respiratory abnormalities was higher among smokers than non-smokers. Conclusions: Concentration of jute dust exposure had been associated with decrease in FVC, FEV1, and PEFR with a higher risk of developing chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, byssinosis and other respiratory symptoms. This indicated high occupational health hazards which would create an alarming situation, if remained unchecked.
