What occupational diseases will you have if you are engaged in non-ferrous metal testing for a long time?

First of all, I don't know how often and how I will come into contact with nonferrous metals as a chemist. Let me introduce what I know about the hazards of non-ferrous metals:

Because most of nonferrous metals and their compounds are toxic substances, lead, beryllium, copper, zinc, tin, antimony and other nonferrous metals will produce a lot of toxic fumes during sintering, roasting and smelting. If you don't pay attention to labor protection, the relevant operators may have corresponding occupational poisoning.

1, such as lead poisoning and beryllium poisoning; Metal heat caused by zinc oxide inhalation in copper-zinc smelting;

2. Thallium can exist in some iron, lead, copper, zinc and other ores, so some dust produced in smelting process can also contain highly toxic thallium;

3. Long-term inhalation of high-concentration smoke and dust produced during tin-antimony smelting can lead to tin pneumoconiosis and antimony pneumoconiosis.

4. In the production of lead-zinc sintering, lead-zinc smelting, nickel carbonyl preparation, zinc-cadmium smelting, cobalt calcination, etc. If labor protection is insufficient, carbon monoxide poisoning may occur;

5, in the process of copper and zinc smelting, a large amount of sulfur dioxide dust will be produced, which will also cause harm to workers.

6, including high temperature radiation, noise, vibration and other adverse physical factors in the production process will cause harm to human body.

However, the above situation mainly occurs in small non-standard enterprises with small scale, many non-standard equipment, low mechanization level, many manual operations, high labor intensity, poor production continuity, poor working conditions and production environment. If you are in a relatively formal large enterprise with good laboratory equipment and advanced personal protective equipment, the probability of occupational diseases is very low. Compared with non-ferrous metals, chemicals such as reagents used in laboratory testing are much more dangerous.
