HYGIENIC ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK OF OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES AMONG WORKERS EXPOSED TO DYES AND CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES: A CASE STUDY OF A TEXTILE ENTERPRISE IN THE FERGANA REGION
Abstract
The textile industry involves extensive use of dyes and various chemical substances that may pose significant health risks to workers. This study presents a hygienic assessment of occupational disease risks among workers exposed to dyes and chemical agents at a textile enterprise in the Fergana region. The evaluation focused on workplace chemical exposure, hygienic working conditions, and health status of employees. The results indicate that prolonged exposure to chemical hazards is associated with an increased prevalence of occupational and work-related diseases, highlighting the need for improved preventive and hygienic measures.
