This study investigates the potential negative effects of exposure to dust particles in carpet and silk industries on lung function. Researcher compared lung function measurements, including forced expiratory volume (FEV 1.0), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory ratio (FER), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), between carpet and silk industrial workers and non-carpet and silk industrial workers. The findings reveal that carpet and silk industrial workers have significantly lower lung function compared to the control group, suggesting a detrimental impact of dust exposure on lung health. These results highlight the importance of implementing effective dust control measures in these industries to protect workers’ respiratory health.
