Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (Exposure)	List II (Disease)
A. Cotton dust	I. Byssinosis
B. Asbestos	II. Silicosis
C. Silica	III. Asbestosis
D. Hay or grain dust	IV. Farmer’s lung

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)

• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Occupational lung diseases are caused by exposure to specific environmental hazards such as dust or fibers during work. Knowing these exposures helps in early diagnosis and prevention.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Correct matches:

• A. Cotton dust: Associated with Byssinosis, a respiratory condition from prolonged cotton dust exposure.
• B. Asbestos: Causes Asbestosis, a chronic lung condition from inhaling asbestos fibers.
• C. Silica: Leads to Silicosis, a lung disease from inhaling crystalline silica particles.
• D. Hay or grain dust: Results in Farmer's lung, a hypersensitivity pneumonitis from organic dust exposure.

The correct sequence is: (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).
