Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: This study was designed to evaluate the status of lung function among workers of four different pollutant industries. Objective: To determine the effect of pollutants on lung function parameters of exposed subjects (individuals) from four different pollutant industries. Methods: The study was carried out with 120 individuals, out of whom 40 were control group (not exposed to pollutant industries) and 80 were exposed group of workers from four different pollutant industries. The pulmonary function tests were carried out by dry type computerized schiller’s spirometer. Questionnaire in standard format was given to all the participants to fill up the required data. Results: The result shows reduction of pulmonary function parameters FVC, FEV1, FEV1 % and PEFR in the exposed group of individuals among the study participants. Conclusion: The pulmonary function parameters were lower in individuals working in pollutant industries.
