EFFECT OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO POLLUTANTS ON PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATE OF HEALTHY NON-SMOKING AUTOMOBILE MECHANICS IN THE AGE GROUP OF 18-45 YEARS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to establish the effect of pollutants on the respiratory airways of healthy, non-smoking auto mobile mechanics. Two hundred healthy, non-smoking automobile mechanics(18 to 45 years) were selected randomly from various automobile shops and garages of this region. PEFR test was performed by using Mini Wright's Peak Flow Meter. PEFR values of auto mobile mechanics were found to be less when compared with healthy non smoking persons engaged in works other than mechanics. All the data was analyzed statistically. The results were found to be statistically highly significant (p<0.005). It was also seen that with increase in duration of exposure to occupational pollutants there is a decline in mean PEFR
