Understanding Pneumonia and Its Impact on Public Safety Workers
Pneumonia is a lung infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. It can fill these sacs with fluid or pus. The illness is classified into different types, including bacterial, viral, and fungal pneumonia, each caused by various pathogens.
Causes and Risk Factors of Pneumonia in Public Safety Jobs
Common causes of pneumonia include bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses such as influenza, and fungi like Histoplasma. Public safety workers frequently enter environments where they may inhale harmful substances, increasing their risk. Other risk factors include a weakened immune system, chronic illnesses like asthma or diabetes, smoking, and exposure to pollutants or toxic chemicals.
