Popis:	Result: Flourmill (FW) and construction works (CW) respiratory parameters are compared with the normal subjects. The levels FVC (0.01, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) and FEV1 (0.22, 0.02, 0.00, 0.14, 0.06) which are more dependent on the volumes and capacities are reduced. The values of PEF (0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) and PIF (0.51, 0.14, 0.09, 0.00, 0.00), which are more dependent upon the airways are very much reduced, because the effects of the pollutants are more on bronchial tree. Conclusion: pulmonary function tests like FVC, FEV1, PEF, and PIF have been conducted on flourmill workers and construction workers for the levels are vary period of exposure. The results suggest that COPD is common in these workers and the changes are more related to the period of exposure. These respiratory disorders are preventable if proper precautions are taken either by decreasing the concentration of pollutants or by rehabilitation of patients since the disorders are more related to the period of exposure.
