  • Title: [Pilot study of chronic bronchitis in varnished wire production].
    Author: Maintz G.
    Journal: Z Erkr Atmungsorgane; 1983; 161(3):283-5. PubMed ID: 6670318.
    Abstract:
    Until now knowledge on hazardous effects of wire-varnishings on the lung is insufficient. 31 wire-varnishers and 33 wire-drawers were studied by questionnaire, physical examination and lung function tests. The varnishers showed significant signs of small airways disease (decreased MEF50 and MEF75). They had symptoms like cough, phlegm and wheezing more often than the drawers. These findings supported the argumentation to acknowledge existing chronic bronchitis as a professional disease in three cases.
