Chemical Exposures
In addition to smoking, direct exposures to some chemicals and irritants in the air would lead to sarcoidosis. People in urban areas or polluted regions tend to be at higher risks since gases, fumes, dust, industrial releases, and other components would penetrate the respiratory system and inflame your lungs. The progression would be quicker if the exposure keeps occurring. To reduce the risk, make sure to avoid any sources of irritating substances or dust when going out. For working conditions, make sure to follow safety instructions and wear protective gear. [11]
