Abstract |
Brief review of occupational lung disease among agricultural workers, covering: immunological hazard giving rise to various forms of precipitin-induced lung disease (clinical aspects, lung function deterioration, anatomo-pathological aspects, immunological criteria); poisoning hazard in the use of some insecticides, herbicides and fungicides (special reference to vineyard sprayer's lung, paraquat poisoning and effects of organophosphorus products); cancer hazard in the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons (insecticides), carbamates (insecticides and herbicides) and nitroquinolines (fungicides). The continuing problem of tuberculosis prevalent among agricultural workers is considered. |
