Dr. S. A. Nayakawadi

Abstract :

The Indian sugar industry is a key driver of rural development,supportingIndia’s economic growth. In Maharashtra it is one of the most notable and large scale manufacturing sectors in the country. The sugar industry is characterized by multitude of concomitantly occurring exposures such as high intensity noise, high temperature,high concentration of clay dust, bagasse dust, fumes of toxic gases, chemicals. The adverse working environment, unsafe working conditions and lack of welfare schemeaffect the safety and health of the industrial worker.In the present investigation the effect of dust and adverse working environment on erythrocyte sedimentation rateof worker has been studied.It was found that the erythrocyte sedimentation rate of workers working in cane yard, mill and bagasse baling section of sugar industry is high as compare to control group.
