| Abstract |
Radiographic and spirometric study of 35 phosphate crushers. Dust levels at various worksites were considerably in excess of the TLV. Pneumoconiosis was present in 8 (23%) of the phosphate crushers. Vital capacity and FEV1 were reduced when the lesion reached the micronodular stage and category 3 of the ILO/UC Classification, 1971. |
