[Endotoxins: a neglected environmental factor]
Abstract
The effects of bacterial endotoxins are well known form an experimental and clinical point of view. Their presence in the environment in general and their possible role for the development of clinical symptoms at low exposure levels has been less studied. Experimental and epidemiological evidence for such effects are reviewed with reference to particular environments where this exposure might be present.
