“…Physical complications include cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and immune system disorders, various cancers and increased incidence of injuries and accidents. Behavioral outcomes of occupational stress include work absenteeism, smoking, sleep disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, and addiction (LaDou and Harrison, 2007[ 28 ]; Yaribeygi et al, 2017[ 57 ]). In addition, chronic exposure to occupational stressors can cause occupational burnout syndrome.…”

“…However, it may also possess features typical for acute silicosis 5 , 8 , 9 ) . Patients with accelerated silicosis are at a higher risk of developing progressive massive fibrosis as well as other complications 5 , 10 ) . In acute silicosis (silicolipoproteinosis), due to intra-alveolar accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material, bilateral consolidation, multifocal patchy ground-glass opacities with perihilar distribution and centrilobular nodular opacities are usually described 7 ) .…”

Sandblasting is traditionally known as a high-risk profession for potential development of lung silicosis. Reported is a case of a sandblaster with confirmed accelerated silicosis, a condition rather rarely diagnosed in the Czech Republic. Initially, the patient presented with progressive dry cough and exertional dyspnoea. In the early diagnostic process, a possible occupational aetiology was considered given his occupational history and known high-risk exposure to respirable silica particles confirmed by industrial hygiene assessment at the patient’s workplace. The condition was confirmed by clinical, histological and autopsy findings. The patient died during lung transplantation, less than five years from diagnosis.

“…Lead is a soft, malleable, blue-gray heavy metal characterized as having a high density and being resistant to corrosion [ 1 ]. Because of lead’s chemical and physical properties including a high density, softness, a low melting point, resistance to corrosion, and opacity to gamma and x-rays, lead and its compounds are used in a wide variety of industrial applications [ 2 ].…”

“…For example, lead is used to manufacture storage batteries, alloys, cables, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilizers, paints, crystal, ceramics, and bullets, among other things [ 3 ]. Lead is also used in the construction for attenuation of sound and vibration and for radioactive shielding [ 1 ].…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to document the trend in blood lead levels in Korean lead workers from 2003 until 2011 and blood lead levels within each of the main industries.MethodsNine years (2003–2011) of blood lead level data measured during a special health examination of Korean lead workers and collected by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency were analyzed. Blood lead levels were determined by year, and a geometric mean (GM) was calculated for each industry division.ResultsThe overall GM blood lead level for all years combined (n = 365,331) was 4.35 μg/dL. The GM blood lead level decreased from 5.89 μg/dL in 2003 to 3.53 μg/dL in 2011. The proportion of the results ≥30 μg/dL decreased from 4.3% in 2003 to 0.8% in 2011. In the “Manufacture of Electrical Equipment” division, the GM blood lead level was 7.80 μg/dL, which was the highest among the industry divisions. The GM blood lead levels were 7.35 μg/dL and 6.77 μg/dL in the “Manufacturers of Rubber and Plastic Products” and the “Manufacture of Basic Metal Products” division, respectively.ConclusionsThe blood lead levels in Korean lead workers decreased from 2003 to 2011 and were similar to those in the US and UK. Moreover, workers in industries conventionally considered to have a high risk of lead exposure also tended to have relatively high blood lead levels compared to those in other industries.
