Abstract:Introduction and Objective.Poultry house employees spend a significant part of their work shift being exposed to airborne particulate pollutants. The aim of this study was to assess their exposure at different stages of chicken production cycle, based on quantification of pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα) in nasal lavage (NAL) samples. Materials and method. The concentrations of airborne dust at 3 different stages of the production cycle (i.e. empty poultry house, with 7-and 42-day-old c… Show more
