Estimation of disease burden and multi-dimensional risk factors of chronic respiratory diseases among the residents near sandstone quarries in Jodhpur

This study highlight the prevalence of (CRDs) in this unstudied demographic of the Soor Sagar sandstone quarry area of Jodhpur. This elevated risk is strongly linked to air pollution emissions from sandstone quarries, particularly affecting mine workers and those living within 500 meters of the quarry. Air pollution from mining, combined with socioeconomic factors, personal habits, and household exposures, might increase the population's risk of developing CRDs.
