Particulate matter produced during commercial sugarcane harvesting and processing: a respiratory health hazard? (2016)
Journal Article
Le Blond, J., Woskie, S., Horwell, C., & Williamson, B. (2017). Particulate matter produced during commercial sugarcane harvesting and processing: a respiratory health hazard?. Atmospheric Environment, 149, 34-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.11.012

Emissions from sugarcane burning are known to impact on the respiratory health of sugar estate workers and local populations. Despite this, there have been few studies on occupational and ambient exposures and risks from airborne particulate matter (...
