| Resumen |
Medical examinations of 368 female workers exposed to mixed dust at a cotton-spinning mill and a flax-treating plant were carried out. Dust concentrations in the plants were at or slightly above the MAC. High levels of microbial contamination were found: 17,000/m3 at the cotton mill and 36,000/m3 at the flax treating plant. The high incidence of upper respiratory diseases and pathological changes of the mucosa of the nose, pharynx and larynx among the workers was probably due to the vegetable dust. Vasomotor rhinitis was the most common disorder. |
