Which of the following is an occupational respiratory disorder?
Anthracis
Silicosis
Emphysema
Botulism
B.
Silicosis
Silicosis is due to excess inhalation of silica dust in the workers involved grinding or stone breaking industries.
Long exposure can give rise to inflammation leading to fibrosis and thus causing serious lung damage.
Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. It commonly affects domestic and wild animals. Emphysema is a chronic disorder in which alveolar walls are damaged due to which respiratory surface is decreased.
Botulism is a form of food poisoning caused by Clostridium botulinum.
Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of :
Residual Volume
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Tidal Volume
