Abstract

Pneumoconioses still remain a common issue in occupational safety and health due to the lack of official information on the number of workers exposed to pneumocongenic agents and former workers who were exposed to these agents. This lack of data can hinder the assessment of the magnitude of the problem, the implementation of preventive measures, the provision of adequate medical care, and compensation for affected individuals.
