title: Mobile laboratory for respiratory surveys in industry.
abstract: This paper describes the design and performance of a self-contained mobile respiratory laboratory used for the carrying out of complex lung function tests in epidemiological studies of respiratory disease in industry. The laboratory is equipped to perform all conventional lung function tests other than those involving arterial puncture or radioactive isotopes. It has been shown to have a high level of employee acceptability and technical accuracy.
