Abstract

Aim: In this study, our objective was to investigate whether there is any relationship between working in the rubber industry and having respiratory symptoms. Method: This study was performed on 141 workers of a rubber factory. Anamnesis, physical examination and pulmonary function tests (PFT) were evaluated. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) follow-up and skin Prick Test were administered to the patients according to the results of respiratory system complaints, physical examination and PFT. Result: One hundred and forty one workers who accepted to participate in the study consisted of 116 (82.3%) males and 25 females (17.7%). In the comparison group with greater exposure results were obtained in the normal range, however the parameters of FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75(%) were lower in the greater exposure group. This difference was statistically significant (p

Özet

Amaç: Kauçuk fabrikası işçilerdeki mesleksel maruziyetin, solunum sistemine etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Metod: Kauçuk fabrikasında çalışan 141 işçinin; anamnez ve fizik muayene sonrası solunum fonksiyon testleri (SFT) değerlendirildi. Bunların sonuçlarına göre astım düşünülen bireylere Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) takibi ve cilt Prick Testi uygulandı. Bulgular:İşçilerin 116 (%82.3) erkek ve 25 (%17.7) kadındı. Maruziyetin yüksek ve daha az olduğu grup karşılaştırıldığında FEV1/FVC ve FEF2575(%)’deki düşüklük istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p
