Occupational Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution: At-Risk Worker Groups, Regulatory and Research Needs An Official American Thoracic Society Workshop Report.

ABSTRACT: Although health effects of ambient air pollution are well established in the general population, the impact of exposure in working populations remains poorly understood. Outdoor workers are disproportionately exposed to ambient air pollution, particularly with increasing wildfire smoke events and global climate change. An international interdisciplinary group of experts including worker representation assembled to review the current state of knowledge regarding the impact of occupational air pollution exposure on worker health and develop recommendations for research and actions to evaluate, mitigate, and regulate occupational air pollution exposure. The group identified health risks likely resulting from air pollution based on studies of the general population, noting that additional risk
