Agravos respiratórios decorrentes da atividade agrícola

Abstract: As doenças respiratórias são um importante problema crítico para trabalhadores rurais, uma vez constatada evidência de aumento significativo do risco de morbidade e mortalidade, por problemas respiratórios, em trabalhadores agrícolas. Este fato é de grande importância especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento, onde grande parte da população depende da agricultura como fonte de subsistência. Sabidamente, pessoas envolvidas em atividades agrícolas estão potencialmente expostas a vários agentes como poeira inor… Show more

“…(17) Exposure to petroleum derivatives can affect the airways in various ways, depending on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the pollutants that are formed; the size/concentration of the particles inhaled and concomitant exposure can be risk factors for various diseases, such as asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis, perforation of the nasal septum, and altered sense of smell. (2,18) general respiratory symptoms than were those who did not. Contact occurs when the product is used to lubricate the molds of the machines that shape the tiles or when the agent combusts after having been heated by the machine plates, releasing in the air numerous toxic substances (products derived from the combustion of the petroleum derivative), (14) which enter the airways directly, because most of the workers do not use respiratory protection equipment while at work.…”

“…[13][14][15] This can impact on the respiratory system, leading to rhinitis, asthma, asthma-like syndrome, chronic airway disease, allergic pneumonia, and interstitial fibrosis. 35 Mixed spray activities could also lead to coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, although our work suggests they reduce the risk of hemoptysis; additional data are required to verify this. No significant association was detected between mix spray use and respiratory symptoms in our study, which could reflect the small sample size.…”
