Zusammenfassung: | Objective: Sulphur dioxide (SO2,)which is encountered in the ambient air of the working rooms used for making brooms, is a gas that primarily affects the respiratory system of the staff. Method: This study was conducted to investigate the exposure to SO2 which is used in the production process in broom-making in Edirne between January-February of 2012. A questionnaire was applied to 25 broom-makers and to 25 other individuals. The study included demographic data, a history and a physical examination of the respiratory system, and the results of spirometry. The amount of SO2 in the rooms used for the industrial processes were measure by a Gas Alert Micro 5 brand device. Results: The average age of the workers affected by SO2 and of the non exposured group were (47.6±1.2, 45.2±3.4 respectively) and the rates of smoking were (64%, 64%) similar (p>0.05). Differences in sputum levels (32% and 16%, p0.05) were similar. Spirometry findings including FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and MEF (FEF25-75%) were significantly lower for the workers than the control group (p |
