Exposure to dust and rat urinary aeroallergens in research establishments / M.J. Nieuwenhuijsen... [et al.]

Sumario: As part of an epidemiological study to explore the relation between occupational exposure to laboratory animals and laboratory animal allergy the authors measured the dust and rat urinary aeroallergen (RUA) concentrations in three research institutes. This paper describes the RUA exposure assessment used to provide exposure estimates for a longitudinal prospective epidemiological study, of which the first results have been published in a companion paper. Measurements were made over a whole workshift and during the performances of identified tasks to obtain a comprehensive picture of RUA exposure for subjects in the study
