Keywords: | Nitric oxide - Physiological effect;Hairdressers - Occupational diseases;Hairdressers - Occupational exposure;Sputum analysis | Issue Date: | Jun-2015 | Journal: | Occupational and environmental medicine | Abstract: | Little is known about the working conditions and airway inflammation in hairdressers in Palestine. We aimed to investigate if hairdressers in Palestine have a higher level of airway inflammation as compared to a control group. We also assessed the hairdressers' physical working conditions and exposure to ammonia gases at the hair salons. Lastly, we investigated the association between ammonia levels and inflammation markers in the airways and the blood. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11889/6697 | DOI: | 10.1136/oemed-2014-102437 |
