Background: Flour dust, with an inherent allergic nature, increases vulnerability to various respiratory ailments. We systemically reviewed and compared literature-reported pulmonary function parameters to quantify pulmonary dysfunction among individuals with high flour dust exposure (among flour mill workers) and relatively un-exposed groups.
Methods: Studies that compared pulmonary function parameters for flour dust exposed and unexposed control groups were systemically searched in PubMed, Scopus and Embase from inception to June 2024.

A second classification was therefore implemented one decade later on behalf of the ICDRG and the North American Contact Dermatitis Group.

Occupational allergic respiratory disease in healthcare workers due to occupational exposure has received widespread attention. At the same time, evidence of altered respiratory flora associated with the development of allergy has been found in relevant epidemiologic studies. It is of concern that the composition of nasopharyngeal flora in healthcare workers differs significantly from that of non-healthcare workers due to occupational factors, with a particularly high prevalence of carriage of pathogenic and drug-resistant bacteria.
