Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (Exposure)	List II (Disease)
A. Cotton dust	I. Byssinosis
B. Asbestos	II. Silicosis
C. Silica	III. Asbestosis
D. Hay or grain dust	IV. Farmer’s lung

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Occupational lung diseases are caused by exposure to specific environmental hazards such as dust or fibers during work. Knowing these exposures helps in early diagnosis and prevention.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct matches are:

• A. Cotton dust: Associated with Byssinosis, a respiratory condition caused by prolonged exposure to cotton dust.
• B. Asbestos: Causes Asbestosis, a chronic lung condition resulting from inhaling asbestos fibers.
• C. Silica: Leads to Silicosis, a lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica particles.
• D. Hay or grain dust: Results in Farmer's lung, a hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by exposure to organic dust.

Thus, the correct sequence is: (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).
