Abstract Histopathological studies in the bronchial and pulmonary tissues of white rats given combinations of mixed mineral and vegetable dusts, fertilisers and organophosphate pesticides by inhalation or ingestion. These combinations simulated the atmospheric pollutants to which drivers of agricultural equipment are exposed during their work. Changes observed: desquamative capillary bronchitis, peribronchitis and perivascularitis, interstitial pneumonia, bronchiectasis, diffuse fibrosis and pulmonary emphysema, protein dystrophy in other parenchymatous organs. Some of these changes are attributed to synergistic effects.
