Abstract

Occupational lung diseases are a broad group of diagnoses caused by the inhalation of dusts, chemicals, or proteins. “Pneumoconiosis ” is the term used for the diseases associated with inhaling mineral dusts. The severity of the disease is related to the material inhaled and the intensity and duration of the exposure. Even individuals who do not work in the industry can develop occupational disease through indirect exposure. Although these diseases have been documented as far back as ancient Greece and Rome, the incidence of the disease increased dramatically with the development of modern industry. Whom does it affect? Epidemiology, prevalence, economic burden, vulnerable populations In most cases, these diseases are man-made, resulting from inorganic dust exposure during mining, processing, or manufacturing. In New York and New Jersey in the 1970s, asbestosis could be diagnosed in over 70 percent of asbestos insulation workers with greater than 20 years of exposure (1). After the introduction of regulatory agencies and promulgation of dust regulations and their enforcement,

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
