Resumo(s)

Introduction: Poultry farmers are occupationally exposed to many respiratory hazards, being the two most reported the fungal burden and particles. Besides poultries, we also must consider poultry slaughterhouses, since it may confine the same exposure risks. Objective: In this study, we aimed to access fungal and particles’ exposure in seven poultries with floor-housed operations and in one poultry slaughterhouse to assess and compare occupational exposure to both risk factors in the two occupational settings.
