Question

what are the health hazards related to sericulture

Answer 1

HEYA FRIEND HERE IS YOUR ANSWER ✔✔✔

As far as I know about silk, here are the health hazards in sericulture. Hope this is good enough..... a. Workers are required to work in units that are cramped, damp and poorly ventilated resulting in respiratory problems. b. The handling of dead worms with bare hands also leads to illness and infection. c. While the cocoons are put in hot water to loosen fibres, workers tend to put their bare hands inside to see if the the fibres are loosened. This results blisters and injuries leading to secondary infection. d. Standing for almost 12-16 hours a day focusing on their work leads to severe backaches, spine problems and problems related to vision. e. Continuous exposure to noise made by spinning and winding machines result in hearing problems. f. Though there have been several studies conducted on the health aspects of sericulture, nothing has really been done to help the working in this environment. There is an urgent need for health professionals to come together and work out possible solutions in this regard.
