| Abstract: | Background - Goldsmiths are commonly renowned for possessing the intricate art, skills and capability to mould the precious metal into an aesthetic masterpiece. However these Goldsmiths are exposed to various occupational health hazards in respiratory. Commonly used chemicals during jewellery making are cyanide, lead, zinc, cadmium, Palladium, Iridium, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, chalk moulds Containing high percentage of silica, etc. due to lack of proper monitoring of the workplace environment, workers get very much affected by the occupational exposure to those irritants. Their bodies react to metals, dust, salts and oxides during manufacturing ornaments by touching, breathing and ingesting that can irritate and permanently damage lungs. The route from exposure to metal fumes, steam and dust is mostly through inhalation. The present study was conducted to find prevalence of respiratory health problem in goldsmith workers of India by pulmonary function testing. The aim of this study is to assess the lung function. Methodology - Ethical approval had been obtained. An observational study was conducted on 74 workers with age in between 20-60 years in both genders. Pulmonary function testing was performed by using the PFT software ( parameters : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC%, PEFR, PIFR ). Result - In this present study, the result shows that out of 74 subjects 57% of subjects had reduced their lung function significantly due to their workplace environment, fumes, chemicals or acids, metallic particles and exposure work time. In this present study compare to the smokers, non smokers have shown greater affection in lung function of goldsmiths. Conclusion - This study concludes that goldsmiths have higher prevalence of respiratory disturbances and deterioration of the lung function. |
