This study was carried out on assessing the long term health effects of occupational exposure among workers of ashaka cement industry in akko lga area of gombe state. Specifically, the study aimed to examine the prevalent long-term health conditions observed among workers at Ashaka Cement Industry, find out if there is a significant correlation between the duration of occupational exposure to cement dust and the severity of respiratory conditions, and examine the existing occupational health and safety measures implemented at Ashaka Cement Industry, and how effective they are they in mitigating health risks.
