Whether spending the day in an office, on the road or in a coal mine, today’s workers are exposed to a variety of substances that can harm lung function. Dr. Maeve MacMurdo, the director of the Occupational Lung Disease Clinic at Cleveland Clinic, provides an overview of the types of irritants and substances on the job that can lead to lung disease. She covers everything from occupational asthma to black lung disease and offers guidance on how workers can keep themselves safe, what companies are required to do, and the role occupational lung disease physicians play.
