ObjectivesTo date, only a few studies have investigated the associations between occupational exposures and respiratory outcomes longitudinally in the general population. We investigated the associations between occupational exposures and the development of respiratory symptoms and airway obstruction in the Lifelines Cohort Study.MethodsWe included 35 739 occupationally active subjects with data on chronic cough, chronic phlegm, chronic bronchitis or airway obstruction at baseline and approximately 4.5 years follow-up. Exposures to biological dust, mineral dust, gases/fumes, pesticides, solvents and metals in the current job at baseline were estimated with the ALOHA+job-exposure matrix (JEM). Airway obstruction was defined as FEV1/FVC below the lower limit of normal. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for baseline covariates was used to investigate the associations.ResultsAt follow-up, 1888 (6.0%), 1495 (4.7%), 710 (2.5%) and 508 (4.5%) subjects had developed chronic cough, chronic phlegm, chronic bronchitis and airway obstruction, respectively. High exposure to biological dust was associated with a higher odds to develop chronic cough and chronic bronchitis. High exposure to pesticides was associated with a higher odds for the development of all respiratory symptoms and airway obstruction. In the multiple exposures analyses, only the association between pesticides exposure and respiratory symptoms remained.ConclusionsSubjects exposed to high pesticides had a higher odds to develop respiratory symptoms on average 4.5 years later. Control measures should be taken to reduce pesticides exposure among the working population to prevent respiratory symptoms and airway obstruction.

The Right

Two cases of agenesis of the lung, both with anomalies of the urinary tract, have been presented. In 1 patient the diagnosis was made at post-mortem examination at the age of 5 weeks. Associated anomalies in this patient included defect of the interatrial septum, anomalous drainage of the pulmonary vein into the right atrium, and congenital bilateral ureterovesicle obstruction with dilatation of the ureters and kidney pelves. In the second patient, the diagnosis was made at the age of 3 years. A follow-up study 12 years later substantiated the diagnosis and revealed pelvic location of fused kidneys with short ureters bilaterally. In the latter case, the lung anomaly has not resulted in any dysfunction of the heart or pulmonary circulation. There has been some decrease in ventilatory function but not sufficiently severe to result in respiratory symptoms. This patient is living and well at the time of this report.
