Abstract
Indonesia is one of the third largest rice producers globally; therefore, rice dust-related lung diseases will be more significant. Rice dust is easily exposed to humans, triggers lung damage, and decline the lung function. Rice dust exposure is associated with occupational lung diseases, for instance, acute reversible airflow obstruction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, grain fever, organic dust syndrome, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Smoking and the environment might aggravate rice dust-related respiratory problems. The average tolerated dose of rice dust is about less than 3 mg/m3. Avoiding exposure to rice dust is primer prevention.
