Predicting Exposure to Dust Particles Using Spirometric Index and Perception Studies among Farmers in Selected Farm Settlements in Ogun State, Nigeria by Funmilola Felicia Oyebanji, Godson Rowland E. E. Ana, Yahaya Mijinyawa, Olusola Olabisi Ogunseye

“…Thus, this comparative cross-sectional work employed a spirometric index and perception studies by conducting interviews and on-the-spot lung function tests on 195 farmers living in seven farm settlements of Ogun State and 195 non-farmers living in other areas to assess the ambient levels of the suspended particulate matter and estimate the dust exposure among the first group. The collected data were evaluated through descriptive and inferential statistics and indicated that the majority of the farmers (51.8%) applied manure, fertilizer and chemical sprays without using personal protective equipment (PPE), although a large percentage of both the farmers (74.9%) and the non-farmers (82.1%) understood that poor air quality could cause respiratory disease. …”
