Abstract

The subject of chronic respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms in exposure to irritants in a plant for the electrolytic extraction of aluminium is discussed on the basis of the results of own investigation and of those of other authors. Two groups of workers with a different length of exposure to irritants were medically examined. The workers' histories and clinical and functional respiratory findings point to the existence of a correlation between potroom exposure and the development of chronic respiratory disease. No direct relationship was established between the duration of exposure and the occurrence of cardiovascular symptoms in the examined workers
