Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) include different kinds of breathing tests that measure how well your lungs exchange air. Your lungs help you take air in (inhale) and breathe air out (exhale). There are many different types of PFTs. Some also measure how well your lungs absorb oxygen into your blood and how exercise affects your lungs.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of stone crushing in West Bengal, India, by comparing pulmonary functions of stone crushing workers with those of nonexposed agricultural workers. Two hundred seventy two stone crushing workers and 123 nonexposed workers were analyzed in terms of occupational and personal histories, …

Spirometric measurements (Pulmonary Function Test) and Chest Radiographs presents evidences of respiratory impairments and infections in lungs. The long term exposure of …
Abstract: Stone crushing in India is a small scale industry where a large number of laborers work. Workers at stone crushing site are exposed to silica dust which leads to pulmonary function deterioration. The objective of this study was to study the pulmonary function test in stone crusher workers.
It can be concluded from this study that even low dust level exposure for longer duration can result in lung and lung function involvement, and stone quarry workers, because of their occupational exposure to silica dust, are at increased risk of lung and Lung function involvement. 3Summary: The workers employed in stone quarries, which is an …
predicted values of pulmonary-function test parameters [6-12]. In our study, we observed a maximum reduction in lung function volumes among stone crusher subjects with dust exposure of minimum five years. Indeed, comparison of pulmonary function tests between the stone crusher workers with exposure duration of up to 5 years and

Among the 21 participants with fully acceptable spirometry, those who were free of respiratory symptoms (n = 11, 4 taxi-drivers and 7 stone-crushers) did not have better pulmonary function than those who reported at least one respiratory symptom (n = 10, 7 taxi-drivers and 3 stone-crushers), except for FVC, which was higher among the …
A Spiro Lab spirometry for pulmonary function tests was used to identify any change in the lung function parameters. FVC% (forced vital capacity), FEV 1 (forced expiratory volume in first second) and FEV1 / FVC ratio were evaluated. ... Ullah et al. reported that exposure to high concentration silica particles by stone crushing workers ...
