    TI: Asthma and respiratory symptoms in hospital workers related to
    dampness and biological contaminants.

    AB: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health investigated
    respiratory symptoms and asthma in relation to damp indoor environments
    in employees of two hospitals. A cluster of six work-related
    asthma cases from one hospital department, whose symptoms arose
    during a time of significant water incursions, led us to conduct
    a survey of respiratory health in 1171/1834 employees working
    in the sentinel cases hospital and a nearby hospital without
    known indoor environmental concerns. We carried out observational
    assessment of dampness, air, chair, and floor dust sampling for
    biological contaminants, and investigation of exposure-response
    associations for about 500 participants. Many participants with
    post-hire onset asthma reported diagnosis dates in a period of
    water incursions and renovations. Post-hire asthma and work-related
    lower respiratory symptoms were positively associated with the
    dampness score. Work-related lower respiratory symptoms showed
    monotonically increasing odds ratios with ergosterol, a marker
    of fungal biomass. Other fungal and bacterial indices, particle
    counts, cat allergen and latex allergen were associated with
    respiratory symptoms. Our data imply new-onset of asthma in relation
    to water damage, and indicate that work-related respiratory symptoms
    in hospital workers may be associated with diverse biological
    contaminants.
