摘要

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) which is also a common OTC drug is not classified as an NSAID because it has relatively little anti-inflammatory activity, unlike aspirin and ibuprofen.~(5)Data was collected from the GEM communities of Haatso, Agbogba, Taifa, Kwabenya, Westlands, Kisseiman and Dome where various construction activities such as masonry, carpentry, steel bending, digging and tilling were on-going. For this study, a construction worker is any male or female engaged in any of these construction activities.
