STUDY OF PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST IN FEMALES DURING THREE DIFFERENT TRIMESTER RESIDING IN POLLUTED AREAS OF BIKANER CITY IN RAJASTHAN,
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of pollution on pulmonary functions of pregnant women during three different trimesters residing in polluted areas of Bikaner city in Rajasthan, India and compare the parameters with pregnant women who live in less polluted areas of this city. Material & Methods: 100 normal pregnant women in the age group of 20-35 years irrespective of either primi or multigravida in first trimester of pregnancy. The subjects were divided in two groups of 50 each. 50 pregnant woman residing in polluted areas and 50 in less polluted areas. Pulmonary function test were conducted with the help of computerized spirometer (RMS-Helios 401 Transducer no 400-666) in sitting posture, during three different trimesters residing in polluted areas and less polluted areas. Results: On comparison of data using ‘t’ and ‘p’ test reveals that the mean ±SD values of FVC,FEV1 and FEF25-75% were statistically highly significant (p≤0.0001)in 2ndand 3rd trimester in less polluted area and were statistically non significant in 1st trimester in less polluted area as compared to polluted area. The mean ± SD values of FEV1/FVC, PEFR were statistically highly significant (p≤0.0001) in 1st, 2ndand 3rd trimester in less polluted area as compared to polluted area. Conclusion: There is statistically significant relationship between air pollution and poor lung function. Decline in the lung parameters FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75% and PEFR are observed in the population residing in these areas than the less exposed population.
