Abstract

Biosomatic factors influencing lung function and methods for evaluating ventilatory lung function tests as used in occupational medicine are presented. Special attention is paid to the tests most frequently used for the assessment of adverse environmental effects. Normal values reported by various investigators are reviewed and compared with the results of ventilatory lung function measurements in the population surveyed by the authors. The results of the authors' own studies of ventilatory functions in textile, cement, and coal workers as well as in controls are presented.
