What are the symptoms of glass fiber inhalation?

Glass fiber inhalation of lung symptoms mainly include cough, breathing difficulties, chest pain, chest tightness, fever, etc., long-term inhalation may also lead to lung fibrosis, life-threatening, protective measures should be taken, symptoms should be treated promptly. Glass fiber inhalation of lung symptoms mainly include cough, breathing difficulties, chest pain, chest tightness, fever, etc. If these symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention promptly. Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance, a wide variety of advantages, good insulation, heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, but the disadvantage is brittle, poor wear resistance. Glass fiber usually appears in fiber form, diameter from a few microns to twenty microns, it can be combined with plastics, rubber, metal and other composite materials, of which glass fiber reinforced composite materials is one of the most promising new materials in the 21st century.

However, glass fiber can be inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory tract during production, causing harm to the human body. Glass fiber inhaled into the lungs will stimulate respiratory mucosa, causing cough, expectoration and other symptoms. If the number of glass fibers is large, it may block the respiratory tract, leading to breathing difficulties, chest distress and other symptoms. In addition, glass fiber may also cause lung inflammation, leading to fever, chest pain and other symptoms. If long-term inhalation of glass fiber, it may also lead to lung fibrosis, affecting lung function, and even life-threatening. Therefore, if you need to contact glass fiber at work, you should take protective measures, such as wearing masks, protective glasses, etc. At the same time, pay attention to maintain ventilation in the workplace and reduce the concentration of glass fiber. If glass fiber has been inhaled, seek medical attention in time and inform the doctor of the inhalation situation so that the corresponding treatment can be carried out. In addition, for special groups, such as children, the elderly, and people with respiratory diseases, the symptoms of glass fiber inhalation in the lungs may be more obvious, and more attention should be paid to protection and medical treatment. At the same time, if the above symptoms occur, seek medical attention in time for early diagnosis and treatment.
