Exposure to metalworking fluid has been shown to cause health problems among workers. The aim of this study was to compare health outcomes and levels of exposure among workers exposed to metalworking fluid before and after the implementation of preventive measures. The frequencies of self-reported symptoms, as well as the concentrations of measured substances were lower after the implementation of preventive measures. Logistic regression showed statistically significant differences in the report of irritations, a stuffy or runny nose, eye irritation, a hoarse or dry throat, and a cough with odds ratios of 0.31 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21 to 0.47), 0.12 (95% CI 0.05 to 0.29), 0.13 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.28), and 0.24 (95% CI 0.12 to 0.46), respectively. This confirms the efficiency of the performed intervention and highlights the importance of eliminating the recirculation of contaminated air.
金属加工液的暴露已被证明会导致工人出现健康问题。本研究的目的是比较实施预防措施前后接触金属加工液的工人的健康结果和接触水平。实施预防措施后，自述症状的频率以及测量物质的浓度均降低。Logistic 回归显示，在报告刺激、鼻塞或流鼻涕、眼睛刺激、声音嘶哑或干燥喉咙和咳嗽方面存在统计学显著差异，其比值比（OR）分别为 0.31（95%置信区间[CI] 0.21 至 0.47）、0.12（95%CI 0.05 至 0.29）、0.13（95%CI 0.06 至 0.28）和 0.24（95%CI 0.12 至 0.46）。这证实了所进行的干预措施的效率，并强调了消除受污染空气再循环的重要性。
