Cross-shift changes in FEV1 in relation to wood dust exposure: the implications of different exposure assessment methods.
BACKGROUND Exposure-response analyses in occupational studies rely on the ability to distinguish workers with regard to exposures of interest. AIMS To evaluate different estimates of current average exposure in an exposure-response analysis on dust exposure and cross-shift decline in FEV1 among woodworkers. METHODS Personal dust samples (n = 2181) as well as data on lung function parameters...

متن کاملCross-shift and longitudinal changes in FEV1 among wood dust exposed workers
OBJECTIVES Acute lung function (LF) changes might predict an accelerated decline in LF. In this study, we investigated the association between cross-shift and longitudinal changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) among woodworkers in a 6-year follow-up study. METHODS 817 woodworkers and 136 controls participated with cross-shift changes of FEV(1) at baseline and FEV(1) and forced v...

Background and Purpose: Inhalation of hardwood dust may produce a range of adverse health effects in the upper and lower respiratory system, including asthma, along with Sino-nasal cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. This study was carried out to evaluate personal exposure to wood dust among workers in chipboard and furniture production saloons in Neka Choob factory, Iran. Materials a...
متن کاملRelation between decline in FEV1 and exposure to dust and tobacco smoke in aluminium potroom workers.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relation between pulmonary function and occupational exposure in aluminium pot operators. METHODS 2795 observations were obtained in 630 workers over six years of follow up. An autoregressive method of analysis was used. RESULTS After adjustment for FEV1 in the three previous years, the effect of smoking v no smoking on FEV1 was -43.1 ml, 95% confidence interva...
