Retention of actinomycete spores by respirator filters / J. Lacey, Shelagh Nabb and B.T. Webster

Sumario: Respirator filters marketed for protection against agricultural dusts have been tested for their ability to retain actinomycete spores implicated in farmer's lung disease. Filters to BS 2091 Type B standard have been recommended for protection against framer's lung but research on dose-response relationships is needed to determine whether 99.7% retention of spores is sufficient to prevent sensitization or disease
