Farmers’ lung
(Continued from Pace D2l)
help m grain storage
area as where there are
government
regulations requiring'
ventilation.
Knapp, who works
with Donham, says he
plans to alert
agricultural engineers
at state universities,
around the country of
the need for better 1
ventilation systems ini
hog confinement,
buddings.
The high rate of
worker discomfort in >
the hog bams may draw
attention to the larger
problem of mold and
dust in the lungs oi
agricultural workers, (
according to Knapp.
Margq Rosenkranz of
the Workplace Health in
Agriculture Program,
stated, “Farmers’
respiratory problems
are often diagnosed as
bronchitis. The doctor
needs to know about
gram dust and other
respiratory hazards or
the farmer’s condition
can just keep getting
worse, possibly ending 1
with emphysema.”
Dr. Irving Cast, at the
Nebraska Institute of
Medicine, is puzzled by
the alleged lack of in
formation about far-,
mers’ lung.
“We’ve known about
the condition for 400 or
500 years,” said Cast.'
“Most grains can cause
it, even peanut dust.” A
test was developed
seven years ago, ac
cording to Cast, to
identify antigens m the
blood, which the body
would manufacture if
mold spores were
present in the lungs.-
A senes of injections
of allergic serum is
prescribed in treat
ment.
Rollins Schmeder,
agricultural health and
safety expert for the
University of Nebraska,
insists that there is a
problem. “You’d be
surprised at the lack of
information in this
area,” says Schnieder.
“It is hard to pinpoint
lung damage, and we
have a hard tune getting
our doctors to pinpoint it
as farmers’ lung. There
