Long-term inhalation of industrial dust does not usually result in allergic rhinitis. Industrial dust that contains allergens may cause allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction disease triggered by contact with allergens in allergic patients. Nasal allergy symptoms such as itchy nose, sneezing, watery runny nose and nasal congestion often occur after the onset of the disease.
Inhalation allergens are found in the human living environment, such as pollen particles, fungal spores, dust mites, and animal excreta. Airborne pollen and fungi are the most important inhalant allergens in the outdoor environment, and house dust mites and dust mites, fungi and animal (pet) dander, and cockroaches are the main indoor allergens.
Seasonal allergens are mainly windborne pollens of woody, graminaceous and herbaceous species, but mites and fungi are also seasonally increased by hot and humid climates.
If inhaled industrial dust contains allergens that play a pathogenic role for allergic individuals, these allergic reactions can be triggered by inhaling allergenic substances such as fumes and suspended particles that reach pathogenic concentrations. When the inhaled industrial dust does not contain allergenic substances, long-term inhalation will not cause allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis patients can actively seek medical attention and systematic examination to identify the type of allergens that cause the disease, in order to actively avoid contact and standardize treatment.
