Which of the following is an occupational respiratory disorder?
Silicosis results from occupational silica dust exposure.
Silicosis is due to excess inhalation of silica dust by workers involved in grinding or stone-breaking industries. Long exposure can give rise to inflammation leading to fibrosis and thus serious lung damage. Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by $Bacillus\ anthracis$; it commonly affects domestic and wild animals. Emphysema is a chronic disorder in which alveolar walls are damaged, due to which the respiratory surface is decreased. Botulism is a form of food poisoning caused by $Clostridium\ botulinum$.
