Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 02/06/09
Sripaiboonkij P et al. - This study provides new evidence that workers exposed to wood dust from the rubber tree seem to experience increased risk of nasal symptoms, wheeze, asthma and skin symptoms and have reduced spirometric lung function. Exposure to cyanoacrylate is related to significantly increased respiratory symptoms. Results suggest that furniture industry using rubber tree should implement appropriate exposure control measures to reduce wood dust exposure as well as cyanoacrylate glue exposure to protect their employees.
