Abstract |
In a study of 112 workers in a modern coffee manufacturing plant with good environmental conditions, there was a significant correlation between sensitization to green coffee beans and work-related symptoms, common allergic symptoms and atopy by prick test. Results indicate a need to evaluate atopic status in workers and to identify the most susceptible subjects with the aim of informing them of their at-risk status and monitoring their progress. |
