Abstract
: Workers in the stone carving sector are subject to risks from airborne particle inhalation. The research investigated ventilatory functions and analyzed the occurrence of respiratory symptoms among stone carving employees in Rajasthan, India. A total of 121 stone carving workers (83 exposed group and 38 controls) were interviewed with the help of a structured questionnaire. A Contec (SP-10) spirometer was used to assess FVC, FEV1, and the ratio of FEV1/FVC. Respiratory issues appeared more prevalent among stone dust-exposed workers, and smoking habits and resistance to wearing masks were the prime reason for developing respiratory problems among stone carvers.
