Abstract
Livestock farmers have an increased risk of chronic bronchitis, COPD, and reduced FEV1. Ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, inorganic dust, and organic dust may be causally involved, but a role for specific biological agents cannot be excluded. Farmers with atopy appear more susceptible to develop farming-related COPD.
