Abstract(s)

Dairies workers are engaged in activities including feeding and milking of cows and cleaning up manure on a daily basis. In this occupational environment, there are several environmental factors that can boost bioburden and mycotoxins, becoming not only an occupational health problem but also a public health risk. This study intended to characterize occupational exposure to bioburden and mycotoxins in one Portuguese dairy.
