propionic acid and Farmer's Lung

propionic acid has been researched along with Farmer's Lung in 1 studies

propionic acid : A short-chain saturated fatty acid comprising ethane attached to the carbon of a carboxy group.

Farmer's Lung: A form of alveolitis or pneumonitis due to an acquired hypersensitivity to inhaled antigens associated with farm environment. Antigens in the farm dust are commonly from bacteria actinomycetes (SACCHAROPOLYSPORA and THERMOACTINOMYCES), fungi, and animal proteins in the soil, straw, crops, pelts, serum, and excreta.
