Was there any relationship between workers with work-related respiratory symptoms and asymptomatic workers? It is difficult to explain the current results, particularly as your day 2 and 3 provide values 24 hours after exposure, which many believe is the optimal time for measurement. These results then would imply no change in FeNO 24 hours post exposure
