Airway Inflammatory Profile Among Cleaning Workers From Different Workplaces
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nasal swab and Questionnaires for Inflammation and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 167 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There are consistent evidences through epidemiologic studies in different places, reinforced by occupational asthma records studies, that cleaning workers have a high risk in developing asthma. These risk determinants are not totally known. The air around the worker may have some higher and lower molecular weight with different concentration peaks from removed dust of the cleaning process and volatile substances from cleaning products. Cleaning activities may occur in different places. Although the relationship between rhinitis and asthma is already established, there are not many studies about occupational rhinitis-related work place. This study aimed to investigate airway inflammation and respiratory symptoms of cleaning workers from different workplaces.
