  • Occupational Respiratory Disorders: As the name indicates, these disorders are due to the occupation of the individual. These are caused by harmful substances, such as gas fumes or specks of dust, present in an environment where a person works. Silicosis and asbestosis are common examples, which occur due to chronic exposure of silica and asbestos dust in the mining industry.
