| Abstract |
150 workers exposed to low levels of silica dust were studied. Bronchitis was found in 22.7% of them. Relations with smoking, age and length of employment are reported. The type and duration of exposure did not have any appreciable effect, and the incidence of chronic bronchitis appeared to be strictly related to age and tobacco use. |
