Risk of occupational exposure to asbestos, silicon and arsenic on pulmonary disorders: Understanding the genetic-epigenetic interplay and future prospects.

Environmental research - 1 May 2016

Bhattacharjee Pritha, Paul Somnath, Bhattacharjee Pritha

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest strong association of lung disorders with occupational exposure to asbestos, silicon and arsenic. The chronic occupational exposure primarily through inhalation results in adverse outcome on the respiratory tract which may also be fatal. Although several mechanisms have attributed towards these diseases; the molecular pathogenesis is still unknown. OBJECTIVE: In this...
