摘要: ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to compare the personal respiratory exposures poultry workers in three different types layer housing under commercial production conditions. Workers were randomly assigned each conventional cage, enriched and aviary barns a crossover repeated-measures design for observation periods over hens’ lifetime. Inhalable fine particulate matter (PM) endotoxin both size fractions assessed by area samplers work shift. Concentrations inhalable PM, PM2.5 (PM with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm), higher than either or barns. Geometric means (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) PM aviary, conventional, 8.9 (6.8–11.5) mg/m3 7517.9 (5403.2–10,460.2) EU/m3, 3.7 (2.8–4.8) 1655.7 (1144.6–2395.2) 2.4 (1.8–3.3) 1404.8 (983.3–2007.0) respectively.
