What is the most common occupational and environmental skin disease?

Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Irritant Contact Dermatitis
Skin Infections
Skin Cancers

The correct answer is: Irritant Contact Dermatitis

Irritant Contact Dermatitis is the most prevalent occupational and environmental skin disease because it is caused by exposure to irritants in the environment and is not an immune-system reaction like Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Skin Infections and Skin Cancers are less common because they are caused by specific pathogens or abnormal cell growth, while Irritant Contact Dermatitis can be triggered by a wide range of substances.
