  1. Abstract:Excess respiratory symptoms and reductions in lung function in farmers and workers in swine confinement industry appear to be both atopic and non-atopic. In some workers, dysfunction may result early in occupational asthma. In other workers an acclimatization process appears to take place. Exposures to dust, ammonia and endotoxin are principle determinants of dysfunction. Mutations at the toll-like receptor 4 may protect against exposures. Management programs in the industry are indicated.
