A total of 25 (58%) reported frequently performing soil-disruptive exposure activities, including digging, working in a ditch or trench, or operating heavy machinery (Table 3); of these 25, only 6 (24%) reported frequently using respiratory protection.
Patients' estimates of frequency of performing soil-disruptive duties and high dust levels at the worksite were categorized as frequently (every day and once a week) or infrequently (rarely and never); respirator use frequency and hygienic practices were categorized as frequently (always and often) or infrequently (sometimes, rarely, and never).
