Abstract:
Although physicians play a vital role in diagnosing and treating health effects related to industrial exposures, most physicians have limited training in occupational and environmental medicine. Two cases of industrial exposure, one affecting an individual and the other, a community, are described to illustrate the need for physicians' awareness of such exposure and their need to know how to manage potential health effects. Resources to assist in identifying and managing these exposures and their related conditions are discussed.
