Abstract:
Many components of airborne organic dusts have been implicated in a range of respiratory diseases. Some of the best known are fungal spores resulting from spoilage of food and feeds which may cause, especially, asthma and allergic alveolitis (hypersensitivity pneumonitis). The nature of the disease hazard in different sectors of food industry is briefly reviewed and references given to fuller accounts.
