Controlling exposures to prevent occupational lung disease (Antrim venue)

Occupational lung disease can occur in most industry sectors and is caused by a wide range of agents, from biological organisms through to dusts, fumes and vapours.

It continues to contribute substantially to work-related ill health and includes a wide range of conditions, from those that develop shortly after exposure (eg legionella infections, work-related asthma) to those that develop many years later such as pneumoconiosis, COPD, lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma which are life- limiting and/or life-altering.
