| Resumo |
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has been recognized to cause cancer in the humans liver. Epidemiological and laboratory evidence also point towards the respiratory system as target for carcinogenesis. Exposure occurs mainly through food chain but inhalation represent an additional route of exposure. Agricultural workers have the greatest risk of occupational exposure due to their exposition to airborne aflatoxin through inhalation of dust. |
