Answer 1

Answer:

Worker from sugar mill suffer from bagassosis .

Explanation: Bagassosis, an interstitial lung disease, is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis attributed to exposure to moldy molasses (bagasse).Bagassosis belongs to the group of respiratory conditions classified as interstitial lung diseases or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It presents similarly to other extrinsic allergic alveolitis , such as Farmer's Lung. It develops in a patient as a result of exposure and inhalation of bagasse - the residual fibrous material following sugar extraction from sugar-cane. This seemingly waste product of sugar production has now found use in the manufacturing of other end-products such as building materials, biofuel, pulp, paper, furniture, brick, ship, automobiles, and fertilizers. Historically bagassosis was first described by Jamison and Hopkins in 1941 after it was reported in a hard-board factory in New Orleans, USA. Subsequently, other reports followed from other American states (mostly in the south) and other countries such as Italy, India, and the Philipines. Castleden and Hamilton-Paterson were the first to use the actual term 'bagassosis' after they reported it in four factory workers in London in 1942. In the past, bagasse was processed manually, in a time-consuming process, before the technological revolution in the 1950s and '60s. However, the machine-processing of bagasse led to the dispersal of particle-laden dust around the machines. Soon after the introduction of these machines, the first cases of bagassosis were reported, predictably in those close to the machines such as the workers who fed the machines and the engineers who supervised them. Other workers, such as those who handled the finished products, were not affected.
