The waste management industry is an important employer, and exposure of waste-handling workers to microorganisms is considered an occupational health problem. Besides fungal contamination, it is important to consider the co-occurrence of mycotoxins in this setting. Forklifts with closed cabinet and air conditioner are commonly used in waste industry to transport waste and other products […]

Enniatin B and ochratoxin A in the blood serum of workers from the waste management setting

  • Autores: Almeida A, Cramer B, Humpf HU, Osteresch B, Viegas C, Viegas S

The waste management occupational environment is recognized by the simultaneous presence of several substances and biologic agents. Therefore, workers are exposed simultaneously to multiple contaminants. It has also been reported occupational exposure to aflatoxin B1 in one Portuguese waste sorting plant. However, besides this mycotoxin, data regarding fungal contamination showed that exposure to other mycotoxins could […]
