Vegetable, animal, and microbial aerosols (organic dusts) induce a variety of pulmonary disease and subjective symptoms. This review presents the pathology and clinical symptoms related to organic dust exposure. Most of the symptoms are related to inflammation, which is not unexpected in view of the many inflammatory agents present in organic dusts. Prevention is primarily a matter of dust control, information, and medical surveillance. In the future, specific agents like bacterial endotoxins should be controlled.
蔬菜、动物和微生物气溶胶(有机粉尘)可引发多种肺部疾病和主观症状。本综述介绍了与有机粉尘暴露相关的病理学和临床症状。大多数症状与炎症有关,鉴于有机粉尘中存在多种炎症因子,出现这种情况并不意外。预防主要涉及粉尘控制、信息宣传和医疗监测。未来,应控制诸如细菌内毒素等特定因子。
