The airborne microflora can be linked to contaminated wood shavings, which are one of the potential pollutants that have an impact on poultry production. The connection through contaminated wood shavings between sawmills and poultries is evident, such as all the adverse effects caused by it, which can influence not only animals’ health but also workers’ health and the environment. Taking into consideration the microbial profile and the toxicological potential of wood materials used by sawmills and applied in poultry pavilions as bedding material, this poster intends to promote discussion in order to achieve the SDGs through the application of a One Health intervention.engOccupational healthOccupational exposureWood shavingsSawmillsPoultryOne HealthFCT_UIDB/05608/2020FCT_UIDP/05608/2020conference poster
