Abstract

We found that FE(NO) was still decreased 1 year after an educational intervention in farmers with occupational asthma. It would thus seem that FE(NO), a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation that can be easily assessed in occupational field work, may be suitable for the evaluation of both short-term and long-term effects of preventive measures in occupational asthma.
