Many workers are exposed to health problems arising from molds, fungi, and their toxins during waste processing. Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) level in airborne and settled dust, aflatoxin B 1 -albumin (AFB 1 -Alb) adduct in serum, liver and kidney biochemical tests, and body redox change of workers in mun...
