Abstract

Fifty‐three hog confinement farmers and 43 control farmers were studied. Pulmonary function, total and respirable personal dust levels, and responses to a health status questionnaire were obtained for all farmers. The hog farmers' total and respirable personal dust exposures were significantly higher than the respective levels of the control farmers. Higher dust levels were associated with the use of floor (scatter) feeding, indoor feed grinding, and the use of high moisture corn feed. Pork producers reported respiratory symptoms significantly more often than controls. Lung function did not differ between the two groups of farmers, nor could dust exposure levels be related to lung function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
