Abstract

Background and Objectives: ASBESTOS is a group of inorganic minerals in the form of long and short strong fibers that are used in chemical and insulation industries. In this survey RESPIRATORY CAPACITY and prevalence of respiratory tract diseases were assessed among the workers of Tehran Iranit factory and were in contact with ASBESTOS. The working condition and physiologic activity of respiratory tract were evaluated, and proper solution was presented to problems.Material and Method: This survey was carried out according to cross sectional methodology and thus, 350 workers were selected randomly from 850 labors engaged in the routine activity of factory. After filling the questionnaire their RESPIRATORY CAPACITY were determind with the help of spirometer and then the volunteers were classified according to age, record of services, mode of contact and SMOKING habit.Results: The results showed that the prevalence of abnormality with respect to ASBESTOS contact was not significant and the reason behind this statement is the frequent displacement of labor. 34% of the workers selected were suffering from obstructive (51%), restrictive (21%) and obstructive restrictive (28%) types of pulmonary diseases and 75% of them were smokers, while 25% were not.Conclusion: As the prevalence of pulmonary ailment in smokers was significantly more than non smokers, consequently recruiting the smoker labors should be prohibited and if taken they should be encouraged to quit SMOKING. Periodical physical examination, once every year at least and replacement of ASBESTOS with chrocydolate or more safer kind are recommended.
