Abstract
Most types of lung disease can be caused by work exposures including: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung diseases, lung cancer, pulmonary infections, and pleural disease. It is important to recognize whether exposures in your workplace are contributing to your lung disease because often steps can be taken to prevent the lung disease or keep it from progressing.
