Health Effects of Exposure to Water-Damaged New Orleans Homes Six Months After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Objectives. We investigated the relation between respiratory symptoms and exposure to water-damaged homes and the effect of respirator use in posthurricane New Orleans, Louisiana. Methods. We randomly selected 600 residential sites and then interviewed 1 adult per site. We created an exposure variable, calculated upper respiratory symptom (URS) and lower respiratory symptom (LRS) scores, and defined exacerbation categories by the effect on sympto…
Improving the Health of Workers in Indoor Environments: Priority Research Needs for a National Occupational Research Agenda
Indoor nonindustrial work environments were designated a priority research area through the nationwide stakeholder process that created the National Occupational Research Agenda. A multidisciplinary research team used member consensus and quantitative estimates, with extensive external review, to develop a specific research agenda. The team outlined the following priority research topics: building-influenced communicable respiratory infections, b…
Lifeguard lung: Endemic granulomatous pneumonitis in an indoor swimming pool
OBJECTIVES: Two sequential outbreaks of respiratory disease among lifeguards at an indoor swimming pool with water spray features were investigated. METHODS: Questionnaires were administered to recreation center employees following each outbreak. Respondents reporting 2 or more pool-related symptoms were offered clinical evaluation, including bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy. Pool air and water were sampled for f…
Building-related asthma in Denver office workers
OBJECTIVES. Reported cases of building-related asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis among workers in a Denver office building prompted an epidemiologic investigation. METHODS. A cross-sectional, self-administered survey of employees in the office building of the reported cases was compared with that of employees in a comparison building. RESULTS. A significant excess of respiratory disease existed among 512 Denver workers (case building) compa…
