Abstract
Pulmonary function testing was done in 19 female and 13 male patients suffering from pulmonary asbestosis. Restrictive disturbance of pulmonary function (VC < 80%) was found in 39.4 per cent of males and in 52.4 per cent of females. Decrease in expiratory flow (FEF50 < 60%) and (FEF25 < 60%) was recorded in 53 per cent of male and 44 per cent of female patients with normal VC and FEV1 %.
