Every time a pesticide is sprayed or chemicals are used in a plant or factory, tiny toxic particles fill the air. These invisible threats can easily enter your body through your nose and mouth. Over time, they can cause serious damage to your lungs and overall health.

What Are You Breathing In?

Common chemicals in these workplaces include:

  • Organic vapors (like benzene, toluene): harmful to your brain, liver, and kidneys.
  • Inorganic gases (like chlorine or phosphine): can damage your lungs and throat.
  • Acid gases (like sulfur dioxide): may cause long-term lung scarring.
  • Ammonia and amines: lead to chronic coughing and breathing trouble.

The Health Risks

  • Irritation of the nose and throat
  • Chronic bronchitis
  • Asthma
  • Lung infections
  • Even cancer or permanent lung damage
