ABSTRACT

Swine production is known to be an occupational setting that involves high occupational exposure to particulate matter and fungi (Donham et al., 1989; Vogelzang et al., 2000; Duchaine et al., 2000; Kim et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2008). Thus it is conceivable that swine production workers are exposed via inhalation to aflatoxins. The aim of this study was to determine whether swine workers in Portugal were exposed to aflatoxin (AFB1).
