| Summary: | For evaluation of respiratory capacities, the amount of VC(Vital Capacity),
FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), FEV (Forced Expiratory Volume in one second)
were measured in 221 pottery, ceramic, slip, molder workers in Lalejin,
Hamadan, Iran. The results were compared with respiratory capacities of 61
people in Lalejin that occupy to business which are not exposed to any
particle of quartz.
Statistical tests showed the mean amount of respiratory volume in pottery
and ceramic workers with less than 20 years occupy, was not different from
the control group but in workers with more than 40 years old and more than
20 years occupy to ceramic and pottery, VC, FVC, FEVwere different
from the control group. The proportion of FEV/VC is lower than 75%.
Concentration of particles were measured in different workplaces ambient.
The results showed that concentration of dust in ceramic and pottery
workshops were more than slipper and molder workshops. |
