Bagassosis - what does this mean
Bagassosis is an occupational lung disease caused by breathing in dust from moldy sugarcane bagasse, a byproduct of the sugar-making process. it is caused by the inhalation of spores and mycotoxins from the mold, which can cause inflammation and damage to the lungs.
What happens during the disease - bagassosis
Bagassosis is an occupational lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust particles from moldy sugar cane, or bagasse. the dust particles irritate the respiratory system, causing inflammation of the airways and lungs. this leads to an increased production of mucus and an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which can cause difficulty breathing, chest pain, and coughing. over time, the inflammation can cause permanent damage to the lungs, leading to chronic respiratory problems.

Bagassosis - Prevention
Bagassosis is a lung disorder caused by the inhalation of dust from bagasse, a by-product of sugarcane processing. to prevent bagassosis, it is important to ensure that workers in sugarcane processing facilities are provided with adequate protective equipment, such as masks and respirators, and that the facilities are regularly inspected to ensure that dust levels are kept to a minimum.
