Respiratory health is a significant concern for individuals working in environments where they are exposed to pollutants and hazardous substances regularly. Petrol pump workers represent a group at high risk of developing respiratory issues due to their constant exposure to petrol fumes, which contain various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals. These workers are exposed to a variety of pollutants, including benzene, toluene, xylene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can have severe consequences on their respiratory health. This essay explores the respiratory issues prevalent among petrol pump workers, the underlying causes, and the complications that can arise from prolonged exposure.
