[Rhythm of lung function during the period of a week, with and without exposure to respiratory tract irritants].
In 10 subjects without inhalative exposure FVC, FEV-1 and Ros were measured at the same day-time over three weeks. Influence of the week course on lung function could not be proved statistically. On the other hand significant differences of FVC and FEV-1 between week-days depending on working conditions could be shown in 9 workers exposed to heated polyester materials. Likewise lung function values measured during the shift departed from the expected circadian rhythm.
