Exposure-response relationships for endotoxin as measured in dust and longitudinal decline
in lung function were studied. A cohort of 171 pig farmers was followed over a 3-yr period. …

During the winter of 1988/1989, the relationships between the prevalence of work‐related
health and indoor climate complaints and a number of building, management, workplace and …

… Cutoff values of 0.35 kU/L for specific IgE and 5 mg/L for specific IgG were used. … A
remarkable high prevalence of IgG to HDI L –HSA was found in office workers. A recent study …

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have reported a low prevalence of atopic sensitization and
respiratory allergy in children growing up on farms. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the …

Personal exposure to dust and endotoxin was measured among 198 Dutch pig farmers. For
each participant 8-h measurements were made on 2 days, one in summer 1991 and one in …

OBJECTIVES--The prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms among pig farmers is known
to be high, but the aetiology of these symptoms is not yet unravelled. Long term average …

… The maximum LOD (calculated with the minimum measurement time of 1 min, standard
volume of 11.5 ml and standard flow of 1 l/min) in this study was roughly 0.1–2.4 μg/m 3 NCO for …

… The maximum LOD (calculated with the minimum measurement time of 1 min, standard
volume of 11.5 ml, and standard flow of 1 l/min) in this study is roughly 0.1 μg/m 3 NCO for HDI …

Exposure to some nonallergenic compounds has been shown to increase the risk of atopic
sensitization and asthmatic symptoms. In order to gain more insight into the largely unknown …

Objectives Estimates of long-term average exposure to occupational hazards are often
imprecise because intraindividual variability in exposure can be large and exposure is usually …
