✦ Synopsis

The spirometric values (VC, Fe V 1 , FEF 2 5 _ 7 5 %) were studied in 44 workers of 17 chromium electroplating plants Urinary chromium was also measured The ,,dynamic values" of spirometry are lower amongst the workers who have higher urinary chromium The part that can be attributed to tobacco smoking is much lower than that of chromium The workers dealing with chromium electroplating in poor conditions seem to be subjects at risk in developing obstructive respiratory syndrome The hazard seems to be especially high in plants dealing with hard chromium plating.

The effects of aluminum on the pulmonary function of aluminum workers were investigated in this study. Serum aluminum levels and spirometry were measured in 55 male workers and 30 male controls. The mean serum aluminum level of workers (72.7 Ϯ 9.9 ng/ml) was significantly high compared to that of co
