Abstract
There is consistent and growing evidence of an epidemic of “asthma-like” symptoms among professional cleaners. Questions include how big is this problem worldwide, which cleaning agents are dangerous, how do they affect the lungs, and is it really asthma? This issue is important to public health because of the increasing number of professional cleaners, many from vulnerable categories. There are implications for anybody exposed to cleaning products during housekeeping, including children. This article uses available evidence to give a broad but concise overview on what we know so far and how we can prevent the cleaning-associated respiratory public health burden.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
