A study of 25 residents in a small Scottish village over a two-year period investigated respiratory symptom reporting in the presence or absence of oilseed rape. Symptom reporting in the year when oilseed rape virtually surrounded the village, varied during the growing season of the crop and was at its highest coincident with peak flowering. At the same period of the following year when the crop was absent, symptom reporting was significantly lower. The symptoms which correlated most strongly with peak oilseed rape flowering were sneezing, cough, headache, eye irritation and the total of these and other symptoms. Increased symptoms were reported by 12 of the participants though only seven of these were judged to be atopic. The symptoms did not correlate with levels of oilseed rape pollen but there is no clear evidence as to which of the other factors associated with the crop might be the cause.
一项针对苏格兰一个小村庄25名居民，为期两年的研究，调查了在有或没有油菜籽的情况下呼吸道症状报告情况。在油菜籽几乎环绕村庄的那一年，症状报告在作物生长季节有所变化，在花期高峰时最高。在次年作物不存在的同一时期，症状报告显著降低。与油菜籽花期高峰相关性最强的症状是打喷嚏、咳嗽、头痛、眼睛刺激以及这些症状和其他症状的总和。12名参与者报告了症状增加，尽管其中只有7人被判定为特应性体质。这些症状与油菜籽花粉水平无关，但没有明确证据表明与该作物相关的其他因素中哪一个可能是病因。
