The correct Answer is:
To identify the occupational respiratory disorders among the given options, we will analyze each disorder based on its cause and the context in which it typically occurs. 1. **Coryza**: This is commonly known as the common cold and is caused by viral infections, particularly rhinoviruses. It is not related to occupational exposure. - **Hint**: Think about whether the disorder is caused by a virus or an environmental factor related to work. 2. **SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)**: This is a viral respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus. Like coryza, it is not specifically linked to occupational exposure. - **Hint**: Consider if the disorder is linked to specific work environments or is more general in nature. 3. **Silicosis**: This is a lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica dust, often found in industries such as mining, construction, and sandblasting. It is a well-known occupational respiratory disorder. - **Hint**: Look for disorders that are caused by inhaling specific materials found in certain jobs. 4. **Asbestosis**: This is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, commonly affecting workers in construction, shipbuilding, and industries that use asbestos. This is also an occupational respiratory disorder. - **Hint**: Identify if the disorder is associated with specific materials used in certain occupations. 5. **Emphysema**: This is a chronic lung condition that is primarily associated with smoking and long-term exposure to irritants, but it is not classified as an occupational disorder. - **Hint**: Consider whether the condition is primarily caused by lifestyle choices or environmental factors unrelated to specific jobs. **Conclusion**: The occupational respiratory disorders among the given options are **(iii) Silicosis** and **(iv) Asbestosis**. ### Summary of Steps: 1. Analyze each disorder based on its cause. 2. Determine if the disorder is linked to specific occupational exposures. 3. Identify silicosis and asbestosis as the occupational respiratory disorders.
