Abstract
The most practical methods for the measurement of ventilatory function in epidemiological studies under industrial field conditions are presented. Advantages and disandvantages of individual methods are critically analysed and illustrated with the results obtained by the authors in their field investigations. Main field instruments for lung function testing are also reviewed. Recommended values of, and prediction equations for, »normals« of various tests are discussed.
