| Resumen |
The objective of this study was to evaluate possible effects of aerosol exposure on lung function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and inflammatory markers in blood from Norwegian cement production workers across one work shift (0 to 8 h) and again 32 h after the non-exposed baseline registration. It involved 95 workers from two cement plants in Norway. Assessment of lung function included spirometry and gas diffusion pre- and post-shift. FeNO concentrations were measured and blood samples collected at 0, 8 and 32 h. Blood analysis included cell counts of leucocytes and mediators of inflammation. Findings are discussed. Overall, small cross-shift changes were observed in lung function and inflammatory markers among cement production workers, indicating that inflammatory effects may occur at exposure levels well below 1 mg/m3. However, the associations between these acute changes and personal exposure measurements were weak. |
