Respiratory effects of occupational exposure to tobacco dust.

The ventilatory capacities of 195 tobacco factory workers exposed to tobacco dust and 190 Libyan men not exposed to tobacco dust were measured. In both groups, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s were found to be correlated with age, stature, sitting height and body surface area.
