| Abstract |
Follow-up X-ray examinations were carried out in 86 tunnel workers who had been employed for more than 100 shifts of 4h or more at pressures above 1,2kg/cm2, and the results compared with those of their pre-employment (1963-1966) and successive periodic medical examinations. These workers accounted for 85% of the recompression treatments. The findings are presented and briefly discussed in this progress report. |
