Inhaling silica dust significantly reduces pulmonary function in railway workers, as indicated by lower FEV1 and PEF scores.
The exposed group reported higher rates of respiratory symptoms like cough and breathlessness compared to non-exposed peers.
Spirometry tests were used to measure lung function parameters within a sample of 63 railway maintenance workers.
Findings underscore the urgent need for health interventions to mitigate dust exposure among railway workers.
