Respiratory and nasal cancers are among the diseases associated with occupational exposure to wood dust. This study allowed assessing, in an exploratory way, some chemical and biological agents that could be affecting the health of the mill workers. For the wood dust exposure assessments, measurement equipment to collect samples according to the method MDHS 14/3 (2000) was used, subsequently analyzed in the Laboratory of Analytical Hygiene of the ITCR and biological agents samples were analyzed according to Pouch (2003) in the Food Laboratory of the University of Costa Rica. The wood dust concentrations were found in a range of 0.09 to 28.9 mg/m3, with an MLE estimate of 2.33 mg/m3 exceeding national and international regulations. Species o...
