Critical Examination of Sputum Samples for Environmental Pollutants from Industrial Population of Bilaspur City

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study intends to determine how microscopic sputum analysis could potentially aid in identifying environmental toxins associated with breathing issues in order to develop better management approaches for lowering pollution's impact on the lungs. This project used a mixed method technique, which included both quantitative and qualitative research. The study included 50 participants from various socioeconomic backgrounds. A structured questionnaire was created to collect data from participants. The sputum specimens were examined under a bright field microscope. Microscopic investigation of the material using Giemsa stain determined the presence of environmental pollutants in the sample. It is clear that microscopic analysis is an effective technique for investigating the intricate interactions between environmental contaminants and respiratory hazards. Furthermore, microscopy provides a cost-effective and efficient method of assessing respiratory health in people exposed to pollutants, allowing for early identification and intervention to prevent the development of significant respiratory disorders. Thus, this study seeks to establish how microscopic sputum analysis could potentially aid in pinning down environmental toxins linked with breathing difficulties so as to come up with better management approaches towards reducing pollution impacts on lungs.
