Abstract excerpt
In this study, the risk of Aspergillus (Asp.) positivity and its respiratory health impacts on wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) workers were studied. In addition, it identified the geno-susceptibility role of mannose-binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene polymorphisms and the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) serum levels on the pulmonary functions of the Asp.-positive workers. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed...
