Abstract
This chapter examines the role of industrial hygienists in preventing pulmonary disease. As part of a team, these environmental specialists are trained to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control environmental health hazards in the workplace. Lung diseases, caused by exposure to airborne chemicals in the form of dusts, mists, gases, and vapors, are among the most serious health hazards facing industrial workers and consequently are an important consideration for industrial hygienists.
