[Possibility of the effect of a long-term activity as a welder on the development of a chronic obstructive airway syndrome].
On 62 welders and in a control group consisting of 90 test persons dynamic functional parameters of the lungs were established. In these cases welders older than 40 years after an activity lasting at least 2 decades gave references to a chronic obstructive disease of the respiratory tract, which after exclusion of other etiological factors may be regarded as a sequel of irritatively and toxically effecting welding fumes and gases.
