A person involved in stone masonry work is likely to suffer from __________ .
- A Emphysema
- B CO poisoning
- C Asbestosis
- D Silicosis
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Silicosis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Silicosis is occupational disease where exposure for prolong duration will leads to damage to the respiratory system. Cement factory workers develops asbestosis, emphysema is developed due to smoking, \(CO _2\) poisoning is mainly caused due to automobile exhaust.
