Abstract |
In an inquiry among 2,203 workers in Swedish cemented carbide industry, coughing, chronic bronchitis and dyspnoea were reported in higher frequency in exposed groups than in control groups. Age and smoking habits had some influence on the frequencies but could not explain the differences between the exposed groups and the control groups. |
