Abstract

Living in a healthy environment is a basic human need and is preferred by all. A healthy atmosphere is a gift from nature. For all living things to exist, air, water, and land are necessary. This is a very sensitive matter that calls for a more thoughtful approach and a selfless mindset. This essay emphasises the value of a healthy environment within the framework of the right to life, which is a fundamental assurance for the advancement of the individual, the community, and the country.

For many years, silicosis has been one of the most significant occupational public health issues in the world. Employees who experience symptoms often choose to ignore their conditions and carry on working in dusty environments because they are unaware of the significant health risks and have low incomes. The employees must be transferred to a different position in the same factory where they won't be exposed to silica dust in order to prevent any more dust exposure. Exposure to silica dust and its associated health effects are entirely avoidable, and the advantages of prevention far exceed those of treating silicosis patients.
