Abstract:
The presence of work-related symptoms, pulmonary functions, and bronchial reactivity were studied in farmers working with dairy animals or pigs. An increased incidence of the organic dust toxic syndrome, cough, and throat irritation was found. Pulmonary function baseline values were close to normal, and no significant decreases occurred over the work period. Bronchial reactivity was increased.
