• Description:
  Purpose of Review: Agriculture environments contain a variety of inflammatory aerosols that may increase risk for lung inflammation and disease in exposed individuals. In addition, epidemiological studies have also identified protective effects of rural environments and farming exposures. Recent Findings: In this review, we will discuss recent literature published since 2016 that investigates the impact of differing agricultural exposures on respiratory health. Summary: Discussions include the impact of farming modernization, education, and personal protective equipment usage among workers, timing and duration in mediating lung health outcomes, and population studies investigating the association between exposure and risk for numerous lung diseases.
