Pneumoconiosis is a widespread occupational pulmonary disease caused by inhalation and retention of dust particles in the lungs, is characterized by chronic pulmonary inflammation and progressive fibrosis, potentially leading to respiratory and/or he...
Occupational exposure to pollutants may cause health-damaging effects in humans. Genotoxicity assays can be used to detect the toxic effects of pollutants. In the present study, we evaluated genetic damage in three populations occupationally exposed ...
BACKGROUND:  Given the high prevalence of hearing loss among truck drivers, using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict and detect contributing factors early can aid managers significantly.

OBJECTIVE: Workers exposed to dust for extended periods may experience varying degrees of cognitive impairment. However, limited research exists on the associated risk factors. This study aims to identify key variables using machine learning algorith...
An individual's likelihood of developing non-communicable diseases is often influenced by the types, intensities and duration of exposures at work. Job exposure matrices provide exposure estimates associated with different occupations. However, due t...
Occupational dermatoses impose a significant socioeconomic burden. Allergic contact dermatitis related to occupation is prevalent among healthcare workers, cleaning service personnel, individuals in the beauty industry and industrial workers. Among r...
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to predict the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) through a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. It provides an early, simple and accurate prediction method for NIHL.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine which machine learning model is most suitable for predicting noise-induced hearing loss and the effect of tinnitus on the models' accuracy.
INTRODUCTION: Asbestos is a global occupational health hazard, and exposure to it by inhalation predisposes to interstitial as well as malignant pulmonary morbidity. Over time, asbestos fibers embedded in lung tissue can become coated with iron-rich ...
