Abstract

It is a serious problem that the ceramists are exposed to substances detrimental to the health in the production of ceramic. In recent years, the developing technology as well as the increase in the number and the diversity of the chemicals and the raw materials used has increased the severity of the detriment. The product of ceramic, contributing greatly to the needs of the humans, requires the ceramicist to deliberately use the facilities of the ceramic design and its technology in order to protect the health of theirs and the people using such products. The measures to be taken are very easy to apply. However, irreversible risks may occur in terms of health when the necessary attention is ignored. In this study, it is aimed to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of occupational respiratory tract diseases that ceramicists may encounter.
