Abstract Context.—Cytologic examination of the respiratory tract has been a useful diagnostic tool when evaluating neoplastic lesions of the respiratory tract. However, we have limited experience in the application of this technique in the management of nonneoplastic occupational and environmental diseases of the lung and pleura. This review focuses on the cytologic characteristics of a variety of occupational lung diseases, grouping them into 2 broad diagnostic categories: reactive cellular changes and noncellular elements. The former includes entities such as reactive mesothelial proliferation, goblet cell metaplasia, Creola bodies, and reserve cell hyperplasia, and the latter encompasses Curschmann spirals, Charcot-Leyden crystals, and asbestos bodies. Objective.—To illustrate the cytologic features of several nonneoplastic occupational and environmental diseases and correlate the cytology with various etiologic agents. Data Sources.—Case-derived material and literature review. Conclusions.—The role of cytology in the diagnosis of nonneoplastic occupational and environmental lung diseases is limited. This may be because more than one agent can elicit a similar host reaction and/or the offending agent can be associated with more than one pathologic process. However, in the appropriate clinical and radiographic setting, the cytology can render valuable diagnostic information. Examples include pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in patients with acute silicoproteinosis and asbestos bodies in bronchoalveolar lavage samples of patients with asbestos exposure.

    The study aims at linking disaster and environmental management and its laws with the principles of sustainable development. This is to get the fastest and best result at the lowest cost and effort in the future sustainable development efforts. The researcher used the analytical descriptive methodology to describe laws and legislations including the Islamic law، and the principles of sustainable development، and the level of interdependence between their different components. The study concluded that there is a strong link between the components of sustainable development، environmental management and disaster management. These include protection of life with high quality، human resource protection and risk reduction. That is to strengthen the scientific and practical foundations for implementing a comprehensive preventive system. Environmental، disaster management and laws، on one hand، and sustainable development on the other، both in regulations and laws، or through various practices، coincide with Islamic law and the principles of sustainable development.
