| Abstract |
The results of this study, which covered a homogeneous group as regards social background and occupation, showed the essential role of inhalation (voluntary or not) of CO, either through cigarette smoking or through chronic occupational exposure to atmospheres laden with cigarette smoke, and the phenomenon of a persistence of CO after discontinuance of exposure. This persistence has an influence on screening for occupationally-induced CO poisioning, and explains to some extent not only the harmful effects of smoking, but also those of occupational exposure to CO as a ischaemic heart disease risk factor. |
