This study assessed the impact of silica exposure on 145 mine workers in Mianwali, Punjab, Pakistan, compared to 45 non-exposed individuals. Pulmonary function tests revealed significantly reduced lung exposed (P < 0.05), with declines Forced Expiratory Volume one second (FEV1), Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, Peak Flow, and Flow at 25-75% FVC (FEF25-75). Radiological evaluations confirmed extensive damage including pleural effusion, reticular shadowing, consolidation. Oxidative stress markers demonstrated increased lipid peroxidation, Fenton's Stress, Stress Index along antioxidant enzyme activities, Catalase, Superoxide Dismutase, Total Antioxidant Capacity, Glutathione Peroxidase. Hematological analysis showed elevated White Blood Cells, Lymphocyte percentage, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Hemoglobin reflecting systemic inflammation. Silica's piezoelectric properties contributed oxidative cellular damage, exacerbating pulmonary dysfunction. These findings highlight as a severe occupational hazard, causing irreversible impairment imbalance. Implementing strict safety protocols, personal protective measures, regular health monitoring is crucial safeguarding workers.
