| Inhalation of organic powders may lead to various diseases such as asthma-like syndrome and hypersensitivity pneumonia. The study aim to evaluate respiratory health effects by respiratory function measurements, respiratory survey, ambient dust concentration, and toxic gas in workers of a tea packaging factory. 69 employees from different departments of the tea packaging factory were included. A group of 53 office workers of a separate establishment was included as a control. Sputum production in the morning was significantly higher in the tea packaging workers (p=0.013). Among the respiratory function values, only FEV1/FVC was lower in this group than in the control group. There was a significant decrease in FEF75% value among smokers in the study group compared to non-smokers. Respiratory effects observed in some food processing industry workers are also seen in the tea packaging industry … |
