Occupation-related respiratory diseases among sanitary workers in the workplace: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

The current systematic review and meta-analysis found that ORRD were common among the SWs. Due to numerous risk factors, these illnesses are more prevalent in low-income countries than in industrialized ones. Therefore, to reduce these risks for these groups-especially for street sweepers in low-income countries-government policy changes and other preventive measures are required.
