title: [Spirometric investigation and spiro-ergometric test in evaluation of exercise tolerance in patients suffering from aluminosis and silicosis].
abstract: The main purpose of our research was to estimate the ventilation and physical efficiency in 6 patients suffering from aluminosis and silicosis. Chest X-ray examinations, statical spirometric investigations and spiroergometric tests (TSE) were performed. Oxygen levels achieved in this group were equal or even higher than medium values achieved by healthy people. Ability to physical effort can be estimated only using TSE.
