Exposure to bioaerosols, respiratory health and lung-specific proteins: a prospective study in garbage and wastewater workers

ObjectivesTo prospectively assess respiratory health in wastewater workers and garbage collectors over 5 years.MethodsExposure, respiratory symptoms and conditions, spirometry and lung-specific proteins were assessed yearly in a cohort of 304 controls, 247 wastewater workers and 52 garbage collector...

description ObjectivesTo prospectively assess respiratory health in wastewater workers and garbage collectors over 5 years.MethodsExposure, respiratory symptoms and conditions, spirometry and lung-specific proteins were assessed yearly in a cohort of 304 controls, 247 wastewater workers and 52 garbage collectors. Results were analysed with random coefficient models and linear regression taking into account several potential confounders.ResultsSymptoms, spirometry and lung-specific proteins were not affected by occupational exposure.ConclusionsIn this population no effects of occupational exposure to bioaerosols were found, probably because of good working conditions.
