Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of occupational lung disease include the cessation of exposure to inhalants, prevention of smoking and smoking cessation, health awareness, and routine surveillance. Certain materials have been abolished from use in industry such as asbestos. Also reducing exposure through the use of medical masks and respirators, robots, isolation of harmful processes, ventilation, limiting exposure hours, maintenance of dust control systems, and the use of warning signs.
