Abstract: Background- Ammunition factory workers work on large scale in factories. Workers of ammunition factories work daily for 6 to 7 hours with continuous exposure to the chemicals. They are constant direct contact with chemicals which can be easily inhaled by them and cause ill health effects. Toxic substances like chlorine. ammonia, etc. are handled and workers get exposed to these chemicals. Occupational health diseases are proving to be a concerning factors nowadays. Millions of workers in a variety of occupational settings have a potential to get exposed to various hazardous substances. Occupational respiratory diseases due to occupation are usually caused by the extended exposure by toxic substances which may lead to chronic or acute respiratory problems. Thus, repeated exposure to dusty environment in an industry causes airway diseases which may affect the pulmonary function over a period. The aim of this study is to assess the lung function in ammunition factory workers. Methodology-Ethical approv
