DISEASE OF THE LUNGS CAUSED DUE TO DUST

I. PARTICLE SIZE: ALL DUST PARTICLE ARE NOT HARMFUL TO HUMAN BEING. DUST PARTICLES OF SIZE 0.1µ TO 5µ ARE HARMFUL AS THEY CAN ENTER THE LUNGS. ON THE CONTRARY DUST PARTICLE MAY NOT BE HARMFUL WHOSE SIZE IS LESS THAN 0.1µ OR GREATER THAN 5µ DUE TO THE FACT THAT PARTICLE < 0.1 µ OR >5µ DO NOT SETTLE INSIDE THE ALUEOLUS

NOTE. µ=1 MICRON=10----3MM=10-V METERS

II. CONCENTRATION: A CERTAIN CONCENTRATION OF DUST PARTICLES CAN HARM HUMAN BEINGS

iii. DURATION OF EXPOSURE: THE DURATION OF EXPOSURE TO DUST PARTICLE ALSO EFFECTS HUMAN BEINGS THE MORE THE EXPOSURE TO DUST MORE THE HARM CAUSED ON THE HUMAN SYSTEM

iv. SUSCEPTIBLITY: A PARTICULAR PERSON CAN BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLES TO DUST COMPARED TO OTHER PERSONS

1) IN ORGANIC DUST

2) ORGANIC DUST
