Abstract: Background: Marble industry workers are at risk of silica dust exposure. Inhaled silica dust causes injury, inflammation, and leukocytes entry. The recruited leukocytes secrete profibrotic cytokines such as TGF-β. This study observe TGF-β1 serum levels based on silica dust exposure duration.
