Periodontal Diseases and Morphological Changes in Employees with Varying Seniority in the Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of air pollution caused by textile combine dyeing and finishing enterprises, specifically the emission of aerosolized paint particles. These aerosols significantly contribute to air contamination and pose health risks to workers. Prolonged exposure to these particles has been linked to various health issues, including tumor development. The aerosol droplets settle on the skin and penetrate the respiratory and digestive systems of workers, leading to adverse morphological changes, particularly in oral and periodontal tissues. The findings highlight that workshops involved in chemical dye production are major contributors to air pollution, dispersing a wide variety of harmful compounds into the environment. Measures to mitigate these occupational hazards are urgently needed to protect the health of employees.
