Abstract
⺠This study assesses PM2.5 exposure and its metabolic and respiratory impacts. ⺠PM2.5 increased in sugarcane fields and in the town during the harvesting period. ⺠Both studied groups exhibited elevated oxidative stress markers during the harvest. ⺠The lung function of both studied groups was reduced during the harvest. ⺠There is a need to discuss the process of non-mechanised burnt sugarcane harvesting.
