“…These high allergen levels may be due to allergen transfer from the workplace through the clothes and hair of farmers. Human hair and clothing have been reported as a main carrier for mouse and cat allergens [37,38,39]. The data presented here support this route of exposure based on the high bovine allergen burden measured in changing rooms.…”

“…Usually, very little dust is collected from clothing by vacuum sampling (<0.1 g), and in most cases, small amounts of mites or allergen are recovered [80••,81]. Two studies report extrapolated mean Der p 1 allergen densities on various types of clothing [82,83]. The significance of extrapolated quantities is difficult to evaluate because they represent amounts that do not occur on clothing.…”

“…Median levels of allergens were lower in living rooms (4 g/m 2 ), bedrooms (12 g/m 2 ), and kitchens (19 g/m 2 ) and higher in home office (63 g/m 2 ) and changing rooms (105 g/m 2 ), suggesting that bovine allergens are spread from the workplace via the clothes and hair of farmers. Similarly, transport of mouse, cat, wheat allergen and fungal a-amylase from work to home through clothes, shoes and human hair has previously been reported (Krop et al, 2007;De Lucca et al, 2000;Karlsson and Renström, 2005;Vissers et al, 2001). Also for microorganisms a transfer between stable and home is suggested.…”
