Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Bronchial reactivity among cotton workers in relation to dust and endotoxin exposure

Notas: Sumario: Bronchial reactivity was measured before work among non-smoking female and male workers from carding, spinning, warping and weaving areas in a cotton mill. Airport baggage loaders were used as controls. The amount of dust and endotoxin was measured at the different workplaces. Statistically significant decreases in FEV were found between groups of cotton workers at different work sites after administration of the highest accumulated methacholine dose used. A relationship was found between decreases in FEV after methacholine challenge and airborne endotoxin levels but not for dustRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 1, February 1993 ; p. 57-63Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Polvo de algodón Endotoxinas Riesgo laboral Enfermedades profesionales Vías respiratorias Otros autores: Bergström, Rikard
