Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 10/22/09
Skorge TD et al. – More women than men were exposed to biological dust (38% versus 29%), while more men were exposed to mineral dust (48% versus 19%), and gas or fumes (58% versus 53%). After adjusting for age, educational level, smoking, and previous occupational exposures, the authors found that high exposure to biological dust exposure was significantly related to a higher incidence of chronic and morning cough in men; for women, low exposure was related to attacks of dyspnea. Low exposure to workplace gas or fumes was significantly related to incident phlegm cough and attacks of dyspnea for women, while for men, high exposure was related to dyspnea grade 2. For the incidence of asthma and phlegm cough, after adjusting for all confounders, the authors found a significant interaction between workplace exposures and gender, where women had a higher risk of disease. Assessed by a job exposure matrix (JEM), occupational airborne exposure was weakly related to the incidence of asthma and respiratory symptoms, significantly more so for women than for men.
