Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Occupational Respiratory Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Collection titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Occupational Respiratory Diseases”. This issue will be a collection of papers by researchers invited by the Editorial Board Members. The aim is to provide a venue for networking and communication between IJERPH and scholars in the field of occupational respiratory diseases. Workers employed in several industrial sectors and production fields such as mining, construction, healthcare, metallurgy, farming and livestock (just to name a few) are exposed to chemical and biological risk factors that may induce numerous occupational respiratory diseases (e.g., asthma, COPD, cancer, pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis, pneumonia). The aim of this collection is to publish a series of articles of high scientific value which, comprehensively analyzing the topic of occupational respiratory diseases (from the risk assessment issue to the application of prevention and protection measures, passing through the health surveillance of exposed workers), are able to provide the reader and occupational health and safety professionals with interesting insights into how to improve our knowledge on this topic for preventing work-related respiratory diseases.

All papers will be fully open access upon publication after peer review.
