Pulmonary function and symptoms in workers exposed to wood dust.
BACKGROUND Exposure to wood dust can cause a variety of lung problems, including chronic airflow obstruction. METHODS Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced expiratory ratio (FEV1/FVC x 100), forced expiratory flow (FEF), forced mid expiratory flow (FMF), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and respiratory symptoms (cough, phlegm, breathlessness, wheezing, ...
متن کاملVentilatory function in workers exposed to tea and wood dust.
Changes in ventilatory capacity during the work shift were studied in workers exposed to tea dust in tea-packing plants, wood dust in two furniture factories, and virtually no dust in an inoperational power station. The FEV1 and FVC in workers exposed to dust were found to decline during the work shift by a small but significant volume. The MMFR, Vmax 50% and Vmax 75% were to variable to displa...

متن کاملrespiratory symptoms and pulmonary function tests among galvanized workers exposed to zinc oxide
background: galvanization is the process of coating steel or cast iron pieces with a thin layer of zinc allowing protection against corrosion. one of the important hazards in this industry is exposure to zinc compounds specially zinc oxide fumes and dusts. in this study we evaluated chronic effects of zinc oxide on the respiratory tract of galvanizers. method : 188 workers were selected from a ...
