Sažetak

A study was carried in a metal processing industry with the aim to analyse the relationship between occupational exposure and lung functions. Measurements in the working environment showed the presence of the following respiratory noxae exceeding MAC values: mineral dust (Si02 up to 10%), aerosols, dyes, toluol and white-spirit. The concentrations of acetone, CO, CO2, oil, SO2, FeO and ZnO, which were also determined, did not exceed permissibile concentrations. Lung function tests were performed in two groups of workers- 129 exposed and 129 control ones. The test values were significantly lower in the exposed group of workers than in controls. This is explained by the effect of the occupational noxae present.
