The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Occupational Respiratory Disorders**: - Occupational respiratory disorders are conditions that affect the respiratory system due to long-term exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. These can include dust, chemicals, or other airborne particles. 2. **Identify Examples**: - Two common examples of occupational respiratory disorders are: - **Silicosis**: This condition is caused by the inhalation of airborne silica dust, which can lead to lung damage. - **Asbestosis**: This disorder results from breathing in tiny asbestos fibers, which can also cause significant lung issues. 3. **Additional Example (Optional)**: - While the question asks for two, another example worth mentioning is **asthma**, which can also be exacerbated by occupational exposures to irritants or allergens. ### Final Answer: 1. Silicosis 2. Asbestosis
