title: [The effect of occupational exposure to respiratory noxae in the tobacco industry on the status of pulmonary ventilation].
abstract: The study from the working environment prevailing in two departments of tobacco factory (DIN) Nis together with the study of the employees (95) working in these departments were carried out. The workers were divided into two sub-groups: smokers (62) and non-smokers (33) and the results of the lung function tests were compared to normal values. The results found point out to the presence of the tobacco dust in these departments and the values exceeding MAC might have caused the obstructive changes of airways in the workers exposed.
