✦ Synopsis

Our study examined the respiratory function of 92firemen whose main activity is fire fighting in forests and open country. Such fire fighting activities are to be considered a risk to the respiratory tract, taking into account studies already in the literature that have evaluated the nature and quantity of inhalable toxins present in activities of this kind.

The control group was composed of 51 Carabinieri (policemen), who were asked to fill in a questionnaire about their work activities. Forced expiratory volume and pow, total lung capacity, respiratory volume, and the permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier were measured.

Firemen and Carabinieri (policemen) showed FVC rates higher than the European Community for Coal and Steel standards. The firemen showed a significant reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV,) t3.90 (0.50) vs. 4.04 (0.44); p < 0.051 and forced expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity (FVC) (

Little is known of pulmonary function in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (A.L.L.); this is despite the fact that some drugs used, most notably methotrexate, have well-recorded pulmonary toxicity, and the most common infections during therapy in most series are of upper and lower respirato
