Results The prevalence of AR was 20.5% with no difference between male and female (χ²=1.21,P>0.05). The variation was noted among different age groups and the elder (40-49 years old)had lower prevalence of allergic rhinitis. The workers had higher prevalence of allergic rhinitis (37.4%) than the that of staff(10.6%)(χ²=116.33,P<0.01).
