title: [Comparative analysis of respiratory function in miners suffering from anthracosilicosis and silicosis].
abstract: The authors revealed differences in pulmonary volumes, bronchial patency of bronchi at various levels, integral time of air transit in individuals having early anthracosilicosis and silicosis signs vs in healthy miners. During stage 1 of anthracosilicosis and silicosis respiratory function progressively deteriorates and demonstrates moderate disorders. When compared to anthracosilicosis ones, patients having polymetallic dust silicosis showed more significant decrease of the studied parameters.
