Caused by chronic inhalation of fibrogenic dusts, these conditions are often diagnosed at late stages, resulting in irreversible lung damage and diminished work capacity. Methods: A scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O\u2019Malley framework, with methodological refinements from the Joanna Briggs Institute. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and gray literature for publications from 2014 to 2024. After screening 1761 records and full-text review, nine studies were included in the final synthesis, comprising two systematic reviews, two narrative literature reviews, and five observational studies. Results: Key risk factors identified included prolonged exposure to silica and coal dust, tobacco use, and genetic susceptibility. Diagnostic delays were attributed to the underuse of high-resolution CT and exhaled nitric oxide analysis. Several studies highlighted the diagnostic value of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers (e.g., IL-6, TNF-\u03b1). Nutritional rehabilitation and polyphenol-enriched herbal therapies were associated with improved respiratory function and quality of life. However, these strategies remain underutilized, particularly in low-resource settings. Conclusions: A coordinated, biomarker-driven approach integrating early diagnosis, dust exposure control, and tailored rehabilitation is urgently needed. Multidisciplinary models may reduce the clinical and socioeconomic burden of OBPDs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/arm93040030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]],"date-time":"2025-08-13T07:45:31Z","timestamp":1755071131000},"page":"30","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["An Integrated Strategy for Preventing and Rehabilitating Dust-Induced Occupational Bronchopulmonary Diseases: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Alexandr E.","family":"Gulyayev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Laboratory of Drug Discovery and Development, Nazarbayev University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karlygash S.","family":"Absattarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sayagul A.","family":"Kairgeldina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1391-553X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raushan S.","family":"Dosmagambetova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanat K.","family":"Tekebayev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madina B.","family":"Baurzhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Department, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, NJSC Astana Medical University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7274-8101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nazym","family":"Sagandykova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Diseases Department, Corporate Fund \u201cUniversity Medical Center\u201d, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaukhar Sh.","family":"Dauletova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, NJSC Astana Medical University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(16)30424-6","article-title":"Occupational lung diseases: From old and novel exposures to effective preventive strategies","volume":"5","author":"Cullinan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet Respir.
