Hello and welcome to HCM,
Dangers of working in dirty and filthy place are many ranging from infections to chronic diseases.
If the place is frequented by flies, it can cause transmission of infections by feco-oral route.
Enteric fever and hepatitis are some of common infections.
If there are plenty of dusts in the air, it can cause occupational health diseases.Development of other diseases depends on the type of contamination of the surroundings.
Thanks and take care
