The effect of wood dust exposure on 50 cabinet makers was examined. Woodworkers reported more nasal and eye symptoms and more cough, sputum and wheezing than did 49 control workers. More irritated cells were present in the woodworkers' nasal cytological smears. In contrast to the control workers, the woodworkers had a significant decline in lung function over the workshift. An inverse correlation between baseline lung function and an exposure index (mean area dust level multiplied by length of exposure) was demonstrated in the woodworkers. Greater dust exposure was not associated with larger falls in lung function over the work shift.
研究了50名橱柜制造商接触木尘的影响。与49名对照工人相比，木工报告的鼻和眼症状更多，咳嗽、咳痰和喘息也更多。木工的鼻腔细胞学涂片中有更多的受刺激细胞。与对照工人不同，木工在整个工作班次中肺功能显著下降。在木工中，基线肺功能与暴露指数（平均区域粉尘水平乘以暴露时长）呈负相关。更高的粉尘暴露与工作班次中更大的肺功能下降无关。
