Occupational respiratory hazards in agriculture are varied and widespread, and farm workers have been found to have high rates of respiratory disability compared with other industrial sectors. The common denominator in most agricultural exposures is organic dust. The author reviews agricultural respiratory syndromes and their diseases, including acute febrile syndromes, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and chronic bronchitis and airway obstruction.
