Question 5 of 5
What can happen as a result of long-term exposure to excessive dust in certain industries?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Long-term exposure to excessive dust in certain industries, particularly those involving grinding or stone-breaking, can lead to inflammation and subsequent fibrosis in the lungs. Fibrosis refers to the proliferation of fibrous tissues, which can cause serious lung damage. This condition arises when the body's defense mechanism is overwhelmed by the amount of dust present, leading to chronic inflammation and the formation of scar tissue in the lungs.
