[Functional conditions of the respiratory system and work site pollution. III. Relationships between "risk indicators" and "respiratory risk" in a chemical industry (author's transl)].
The results are reported of a retrospective study carried out by the authors on 717 workers of a chemical industry whose exposure was diversified and quantified through a work environment survey. A comparison between "risk indicators" and both objective (respiratory function changes) and subjective (chronic bronchopneumopathy symptoms) "risks" showed a significant probability of the causal role played by work environment pollution in respect of the repiratory changes found by the authors.
