| Resumen |
This study covering 181 fruit growers was instigated by the finding of large, atypical lung infiltrations and lung fibrosis in one of them. The investigation comprised an interview, peak flow metering and chest x-ray; 41% of the subjects examined had one or other of the symptoms. Of the 132 workers who completed a questionnaire, 60 had worked with biocides and 72 had not. A non-significant higher frequency of symptoms was found among those who used biocides. Biocides (or "pesticides") may give rise to a lung disease, "biocide lung" which comprises pneumonia and chronic progressive pulmonary fibrosis. |
