ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
Farming is unusual because the home and the worksite are the same. Several types of farming activities are associated with higher-than-expected occurrences of acute and chronic respiratory conditions. Individuals with long-term exposure to grain dusts, such as grain elevator workers and dairy workers, have diminished respiratory function and increased frequency of respiratory symptoms. Occupational asthma and more exotic fungal or toxic gas-related conditions occur in higher frequency in agricultural than nonagricultural populations. Exposure risks to children and spouses may be heightened when farmers wear contaminated clothing and boots into the home, but the same can happen in several industries.
