Summary:
The presence and time course of changes in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum were studied to evaluate possible mechanisms by which inhalation of pig dust induces general symptoms. A group of 14 previously unexposed humans weighed pigs for 3 h. The average dust concentration in the air was 22.4 +/- 4.7 mg/m3 and endotoxin 1.2 +/- 0.4 A
