Long-term exposure to PM2.5 for over 30 years is even worse than heavy smokers.
workplace exposure is also a potential risk.
According to 2024 the latest research from National Taiwan University's School of Public Health, the risk of developing lung adenocarcinoma after long-term exposure to PM2.5 for over 30 years is even higher than that of smokers. This news is alarming because air pollution is not only an outdoor issue; our work environments may also be filled with various pollutants. While some may perceive 30 years as a long time, consider that many of us may have already surpassed that duration in our careers, possibly within the same industry. Over the years, we may not have even realized the extent of exposure to the same pollutants in our work environments.
Air pollution isn't just an outdoor issue; workplace exposure is also a potential risk.
While we are concerned about the health effects of PM2.5, the air quality in many work environments can be worse than outdoors. For example, the fumes generated while cooking in kitchens often reach hazardous levels, and the dust and oil mist in factory processes can also pose risks. Prolonged exposure to such pollutants in these environments can lead to chronic occupational hazards.
To prevent occupational lung injuries, we need masks with higher levels of protection.
When we are aware of the risks, protecting ourselves becomes our choice. However, when we are unaware of these risks and fail to take measures to protect ourselves, it becomes another matter altogether.
Therefore, let us start paying attention to the issue of air pollution in the workplace from now on! Let's not ignore these potential threats to our health. Consider using dcMasks, which are made with microporous filter materials, resistant to water and alcohol, washable for reuse, and maintain their protective effects over time. Let's strive together for the safety of our breathing and ensure that each day is lived healthily and refreshed!
