Which condition is particularly associated with naval shipyard workers due to asbestos exposure?

  1. Asthma

  2. Chronic Bronchitis

  3. Emphysema

  4. Asbestosis

The correct answer is: Asbestosis

Asbestos exposure is a well-known cause of asbestosis, a chronic and progressive lung disease. It can lead to scarring and inflammation of the lungs which hinders the ability to breathe. This condition is particularly common among naval shipyard workers due to the extensive use of asbestos in ship construction. Asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema are not particularly associated with naval shipyard workers, although they can be caused by certain environmental exposures or occupational hazards.
