Abstract
Silicosis is a type of pneumoconiosis caused by repeated inhalation of silica dust, leading to pulmonary fibrosis and bronchial problems. It is also a progressive and irreversible disease, causing temporary or permanent leaves from work, and a predisposing factor for lung cancer, tuberculosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [1], [2]. The main preventive measure is worker education by employers on how to use the respiratory mask, i.e. fitting it correctly and checking for inward leaks.
期刊介绍：
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine is a bimonthly publication. It publishes in February, April, June, August, October, and December of each year. The magazine covers a wide variety of topics in instrumentation, measurement, and systems that measure or instrument equipment or other systems. The magazine has the goal of providing readable introductions and overviews of technology in instrumentation and measurement to a wide engineering audience. It does this through articles, tutorials, columns, and departments. Its goal is to cross disciplines to encourage further research and development in instrumentation and measurement.
