Abstract From 1961 to 1971, dust and hazardous chemical substances were determined in industrial working environments. The measurements were made during the summer and winter. The length of exposure to air pollutants, types of air pollution, and smoking habits were correlated with chronic bronchitis. The bronchitis was significantly related to exposure to air pollutants at work and to smoking habits.
