Resumen |
Spirometric tests and electrocardiograms were performed on 200 present and past employees of a sulfur mine (length of employment: 5-30 years). Significant reductions in vital capacity (average 30%), in FEV1 (25-30%), increases in relative residual volume (29% in miners 39-45 years old, 57% in miners over 66 years old) and in residual volume/total lung capacity relation (by 36-43%, depending on age) were found. Significant changes in heart function occurred in 20% of the subjects (disturbances of atrial-ventricular conduction and of conduction in blood vessels on the right side of the body). Hypotheses for the aetiology of these changes are given. |
