title: [Lung elasticity as the factor affecting ventilatory capacity in workers exposed to mixed air pollution].
abstract: The author assesses the role of pulmonary mechanics in decreasing ventilation in subjects exposed to mixed air pollution. He demonstrates the role of lung elasticity in such processes. The consequences of this is a decrease in Delta P and an increase of critical transmural pressure (Ptm'), which decreases maximal expiratory flow (V'e max) without affecting conductance of the terminal airways (Gus). To receive such information the author analyzed individual MFSR indices.
