Exposure to airway irritants, airway hyperresponsiveness and respiratory health in an ocupational population
doctoral thesis
A longitudinal study among workers from synthetic fibre plants who are exposed to airway irritants, was conducted between 1989 and 1992. For studying the relation between exposure and respiratory health, objective end points such as respiratory symptoms, airway hyperresponsiveness, and level of lung function were defined. In addition, sickness absence because of respiratory problems was used as an indicator of the respiratory health of the workers.
