The respiratory diseases are an important part of the occupational and environmental pathology. If the air that we breathe is contaminated the lungs are the target organ of the tobacco, silica, asbestos, antigens, NO₂, SO₂, nano-particles effects. The agencies responsible for community health must ensure that the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of these processes are the most appropriate. The Instituto Nacional de Silicosis and the Instituto de Salud Carlos III are with this action a good example of this attitude.

Palabras clave : Occupational Pneumology; silicosis; asbestosis; respiratory health.
