The Impact of Microbiology Instruction on Students’ Perceptions of Risks Related to Microbial Illness
International Journal of Science Education, Part B, 3(3), 199–213.
author keywords: Scientific literacy; Personal constructivism; Health education
TL;DR:
Survey results showed that there were changes in students’ knowledge of microbes and microbial transmission as well as changes in reported behaviors related to microbial transmission, and exploratory factor analysis showed a subtle shift in the conceptualization of transmission risks from pre- to post-course.

MeSH headings : Air Pollutants, Occupational / toxicity; Female; Humans; Male; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pesticides / toxicity; Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive / chemically induced
TL;DR:
It is reported that occupational pesticide exposure is associated with poorer pulmonary function consistent with airway obstruction as measured by spirometry in two Dutch general population cohorts.

Exacerbation of symptoms in agricultural pesticide applicators with asthma
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 87(4), 423–432.
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Agricultural Workers' Diseases / epidemiology; Agricultural Workers' Diseases / etiology; Asthma, Occupational / epidemiology; Asthma, Occupational / etiology; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pesticides / adverse effects; Risk Factors; Severity of Illness Index; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States; Young Adult
TL;DR:
The inverse associations with two pesticides and specific farm activities are consistent with the possibility that asthma cases prone to exacerbation may avoid exposures that trigger symptoms, and suggest that use of specific pesticides may contribute to exacerbate of asthma among individuals with allergies.
