The response rate was 90\%. Twenty nine percent of the population had a history of occupational dust or gas exposure, 5\% reported having been exposed to asbestos at work, and 4\% reported quartz exposure. A history of occupational dust or gas exposure was associated with morning cough, chronic cough, phlegm when coughing, breathlessness on exercise, occasional wheezing and a physician{\textquoteright}s diagnosis of asthma after adjusting for sex, age, smoking habits and urban-rural area of residence. The adjusted relative odds ratios for the respiratory disorders in subjects exposed to dust or gas ranged from 1.6-1.9. The population attributable risk of occupational dust or gas exposure for the respiratory disorders ranged from 11-19\%. The study indicates that respiratory disorders are independently associated with occupational airborne exposure in a Norwegian general population sample.}, issn = {0903-1936}, URL = {//www.qdcxjkg.com/content/4/3/273}, eprint = {//www.qdcxjkg.com/content/4/3/273.full.pdf}, journal = {European Respiratory Journal} }
