Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To identify effect modification produced by genetic traits found in metabolic enzymes, to investigate how these affect the levels of different biomarkers of sprayed and thermo-degraded polyurethane (PUR) based on 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and to determine how associated respiratory disorders are affected. METHODS: Two partly overlapping groups of 141 and 158 factory employees exposed to...
