Randomized trial assesses dust exposure risks in various industrial sectors, highlighting critical health impacts.
Key Points
The study aims to identify the best methods for evaluating dust exposure risks among workers in specific industries.
Conducted a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study in wood, textile, food, and livestock industries.
Utilized qualitative, quantitative, and semi-quantitative risk assessment approaches.
Employed Monte Carlo Simulation to model both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks.
Highest dust concentration found in the food industry; textile sector had the lowest.
Dust levels exceeded safe limits in textile and food industries.
Significant carcinogenic risks identified in wood, food, and livestock industries; correlation found (P < 0.05) between risk scores and dust concentrations.
