OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK AMONG INDUSTRIAL WORKERS

Abstract

Cardiovascular disorders remain the primary cause of mortality globally, with emerging data indicating a substantial contribution from occupational exposures. This study explores the relationship between industrial workplace hazards and cardiovascular health outcomes. A systematic analysis of recent peer-reviewed literature (2021–2025) was performed. The findings reveal that continuous exposure to toxic substances, airborne particles, excessive noise, and work-related stress significantly elevates the risk of hypertension, coronary artery disease, and vascular dysfunction. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating preventive cardiology into occupational health systems to minimize long-term health consequences.
