Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having work place exposure to carbon black, possibility of chemical induced bronchitis is more likely.
So wear face mask at work place.
Quit smoking if you are a smoker.
Take regular inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Do breathing exercises, yoga and pranayam.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
