Description
Mochammad Sholehhudin and co-authors review workplace physical factors tied to lung tuberculosis among workers. Tuberculosis spreads through air and remains a top infectious threat. Work settings can raise or lower that airborne risk.
Poor ventilation and stale air circulation link to transmission. Dust and silica exposure raise workers' susceptibility to infection. Crowding speeds airborne spread inside shared work spaces. The review gathers evidence across industries and countries. Ventilation control stands out as a key prevention lever. Highlights frame the main physical risk factors plainly. Employers can act on most of these factors directly. The synthesis supports safer design of workplaces in high-risk trades and plants.
